US-based MIT Lincoln Laboratory has implemented strategies to mitigate the climate impact of generative AI, including reducing hardware power consumption by 20-30% and developing climate-aware tools that reduce carbon emissions by nearly 80%. They also employ techniques like training AI models during cooler temperatures or low energy demand periods and terminating unproductive computations.
