Articles and blog posts on digital infrastructure

Are AI and other advanced digital services environmental villains or climate heroes? On the one hand, they can help increase sustainability, but at the same time, the data centres that power them require large amounts of energy and water. – A lot is happening in the industry now, with investments in everything from energy efficiency to heat recovery," says Tor Björn Minde of RISE.

Optimal performance of Generative AI necessitates the implementation of liquid cooling! In two preceding blog entries, we delved into the challenges and substantial energy consumption associated with training and utilizing expansive AI models, such as in the case of ChatGPT. In this blog post, our objective is to go into the thermal management.

As part of its efforts to reduce risk while boosting European innovation, the EU is investing heavily in digital sovereignty, which has now reached a new stage of great interest to businesses.  

In a previous blog post, we posed the question, "Does generative AI run on thin air?" and discussed the associated challenges and strategies for mitigating energy use. We even put this question to ChatGPT, and it couldn't provide a clear answer.

In today's digital landscape, technological advancements are reshaping the way we communicate. One of the most groundbreaking developments is deployment of 5G and in the future 6G. These next-generation networks are not just about faster downloads; they have the potential to revolutionize how we experience connectivity in every aspect of our lives.

Have you tried asking ChatGPT how much energy it uses to train itself? It answers “As an AI language model, I don't have direct information about the specific energy use involved in training me."

Let’s take a peek into the future of how much energy data centers in Sweden will use by 2030? The report "Energy Use in Data Centers and Digital System", written by us at RISE data center ICE, was recently released for the Swedish Energy Agency. Here we figure out how much energy that will be used 2025 and 2030!

How much energy do data centers in Sweden use then? The report "Energy Use in Data Centers and Digital System", written by us at RISE data center ICE, was recently released for the Swedish Energy Agency. Here we figure out how much energy that is used!

Do we need data centers when we have the cloud? The report "Energy Use in Data Centers and Digital System", written by us at RISE data center ICE, was recently released for the Swedish Energy Agency. Here we figure out how and where the data actually "lives"!

Why are data centers important? The report "Energy Use in Data Centers and Digital System", written by us at RISE data center ICE, was recently released for the Swedish Energy Agency. Here we find out how a data center is structured and what it means to your life, as well as positive side effects of energy consumption.

We need to put data center energy use in a better light. The report "Energy Use in Data Centers and Digital System", written by us at RISE data center ICE, was recently released by the Swedish Energy Agency. Is the energy use in data centers and the benefits we get from these services well understood? Here we find out how it is!
