AI can be sustainability enabler, but cost is steep
In an interview with TechTarget, GHD Digital's Kumar Parakala explains some of the benefits of using GenAI in sustainability initiatives, as well as the issues that must be addressed.
"Let's say you're designing a building. There's a structural design, there are materials that are going into that building, there are aspects of the design that make that structure more energy-efficient. You can simulate all those things in the modeling that you're doing, and then use GenAI, because what happens with GenAI is you've got all this data, and as time progresses, the machine is learning from that data, and you improve the quality of that data," he says.
