AI and data centers need a lot of computing power — and that can mean a lot of water, too.

Purdue ECE’s Yi Ding is leading a new Green Software Foundation project to help the tech industry measure and reduce software’s water footprint.

Yi Ding has been named project lead for the Software Water Intensity project, a new initiative launched within the Green Software Foundation (part of Linux Foundation). The project aims to develop a consistent way to measure the water consumed by software, similar to how organizations now measure so...

When AI is used in high-stakes areas like medicine and security, getting the “right” answer is only part of the challenge.

In this clip from Engineering Innovations, Aksh*ta Kamsali explains why researchers also need to understand how AI reaches its decisions, especially when those decisions may be based on misleading patterns instead of real reasons.

Watch the clip, then listen to the full episode for more on building AI systems we can better understand, evaluate and trust.
