![[Circle U.] The Energy Cost of AI Development: How High Is the Price? @ Online](https://u-paris.fr/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Conférence-IA-300x169.png)
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is leading to a sharp rise in digital infrastructure, particularly data centres, which are well known for their high energy consumption. How can we reconcile technological innovation with energy efficiency? This is the central question of the Circle U.-labelled conference and debate, held as part of the ICENSS (International Conference on Energy Saving and Storage). Join us on 26 May online – free registration open until 22 May!
