Sustainable Architectures and Responsible AI.
summary
Global IT demand hits 536 terawatts for 2025–26 and data centers use ~6% of US electricity, with AI driving projected water use of 4.2–6.6 billion m3 by 2027, 63M tons of e‑waste now (80M by 2030), and digital emissions at 2–4% CO2eq. Enterprise architecture scores 1.8 on sustainability readiness, so a Responsible Technology Framework shifts decisions to right‑size models, carbon‑costed TCO, workload scheduling and green ops tooling; application portfolio rationalization claims 84–98% reduction potential.
