Energy-Water-Compute Nexus Seminar Series

The systems behind responsible AI.

Responsible AI depends on a full ecosystem  — from computing hardware, data centers and cooling systems to energy, water, materials and the ways AI is deployed in society.

The Energy-Water-Compute Nexus Seminar Series brings together researchers, industry experts, partners and other stakeholders to examine these interconnected systems and surface the research challenges emerging at their intersection.

Hosted by Discovery Partners Institute, the series begins with an introduction to data centers as systems before moving into open research questions and deeper exploration of the energy, water, compute and societal dimensions of responsible AI.
