Session
Rising concerns over IT's carbon footprint necessitate tools that gauge and mitigate these impacts. This session introduces CodeCarbon, an open-source tool that estimates computing's carbon emissions by measuring energy use across hardware components. Aimed at AI researchers and data scientists, CodeCarbon provides actionable insights into the environmental costs of computational projects, supporting efforts towards sustainability without requiring deep technical expertise.
This talk from the main contributors of Code Carbon will cover the environmental impact of IT, the possibilities to estimate it and a demo of CodeCarbon.
