Briefing

  • Power Reducing AI – Google applied Deep Mind’s artificial intelligence to reduce power required for cooling data centers by 40%, resulting in 15% overall power savings
  • AI Training – Trained AI with historical data (e.g. temperature, power, pump speeds, setpoints) collected by thousands of sensors, which are used to predict future temperature and pressure of data centers over next hour
  • Other Potential AI Applications – Include improving power plant conversion efficiency, reducing semiconductor manufacturing energy and water usage, and helping manufacturing facilities increase throughput
  • Google’s Other Energy Saving Achievements – Built more efficient servers, invented more methods to efficiently cool data centers, and invested in green energy resources with goal to be 100% powered by renewable energy
