The Environmental Impact of AI and Machine Learning with Amber McKenzie

What is the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the environment? Carl and Richard talk to Amber McKenzie about her examination of resource consumption when creating machine learning models.

The conversation also digs into the broader thinking about resource consumption in computing - do you know how much power your apps use?
