Enterprises are responding to climate- and sustainability-oriented mandates through Green Artificial Intelligence (AI), a concept encompassing energy-efficient and carbon-aware approaches to AI development and deployment. A foundational understanding of Green AI is established, along with the supporting concepts of Energy and Carbon-Aware, Sustainable Computing, and Lifecycle Assessment. These construct a framework for applying Green AI to the orchestration of enterprise-scale financial functions, spanning efficiency-enhancement across derivatives pricing, hedging, and risk processes; automation and energy-awareness in regulatory compliance; and holistically defined Cloud Compute Efficiency metrics.
Emerging drivers solidify Green AI as a business imperative. Cost reduction remains a central goal; underlying initiatives for resource optimization have broadened in scope, framing Green AI as a tool for climate-risk remediation and a pathway for satisfying evolving regulatory requirements both in capital markets and more widely within enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance processes. Artefact preservation for internal and external audit purposes places traceability demands across a range of decision processes; the need for energy-usage disclosures drives automation of compliance with established guidelines. Societal pressures catalyse both hard regulation and voluntary endorsement of targets, goals, and principles that require quantifiable response.
