The CEO of Nokia has stated that achieving AI sustainability begins with designing more efficient and intelligent data centers. He emphasized that the biggest challenge in the AI era lies in better managing energy consumption, especially with the significant increase in demand for cloud computing and AI applications.
He highlighted that reusing excess heat from data centers, as is done at Nokia’s headquarters in Finland where 14,000 homes are heated, is a clear example of turning challenges into opportunities for greater sustainability. He added that improving network efficiency and cooling technologies plays a crucial role in reducing energy consumption.
Additionally, he stressed the importance of using AI itself to enhance efficiency through specialized Small Language Models (SLMs) that consume less power while providing higher accuracy for specific tasks. He called for building data centers in locations utilizing renewable energy and taking advantage of natural cooling in colder regions.
He concluded by saying, "To make AI successful and sustainable, we need innovative infrastructure and smarter use of technology. Better data center design is the first step toward a greener future."
