Finding the Balance: Telco Strategies for Sustainable AI Innovation

As artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI (GenAI), becomes central to telecom innovation, service providers face a critical challenge: balancing AI’s vast potential with its substantial energy demands. Data center power consumption is projected to surge by 160% by 2030, with AI workloads driving a significant portion of this increase. Without sustainable solutions, rising operational costs and environmental impact could limit AI’s long-term viability in the telecom sector.

This whitepaper explores:

• Strategies for optimizing AI infrastructure while minimizing resource consumption
• Cost and energy-saving benefits of advanced cooling technologies, renewable energy integration, and smart energy management
• How telecom leaders are adopting innovative approaches to ensure AI growth remains efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable
