A new UNESCO report shows that minor adjustments in the construction and use of artificial intelligence models could lead to major energy savings.

The 35-page report, titled 'Smarter, Smaller, Stronger: Resource-Efficient Generative Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Digital Transformation,' outlines practical ways in which developers and users can significantly reduce AI's ecological footprint. Proposed strategies include using smaller and specialized models, keeping prompts and responses short, and compressing models.
