Keynote: A Vision of Energy Sustainability From the ICT Industry Perspective: How Futurewei, LFE...
summary
By 2030 the ICT sector claims 25% of global energy use, about four times 2010 levels, and training one large foundation model emits ~500 tons CO2, roughly 56 years of a US household or 110 cars for a year. The work produces two published reports, interviews with 17 experts, a survey where over three quarters of operators already have digitization plans, and concrete pushes for NCI standard adoption and an incubated open source microgrid codebase. Barriers remain performance security and vendor support.
