Apidays New York and the Green IO podcast have partnered to bring you the first edition of Green IO New York packed with the latest insights from thought leaders in Tech Sustainability and actionable hands-on feedback from practitioners scaling Green IT. Green IO New York covers responsible AI, green software, sustainable design, green cloud, etc., and will provide a variety of perspectives from practitioners and experts, such as Sasha Luccioni (Hugging Face), Tim Frick (W3C), François Burra (Climate Product Leader), Cameron Casher (Thoughtworks) and many more.
Great hopes have been placed in IT and Digital Technologies to support our transition towards a low-carbon economy, but the digital sector itself emits as many greenhouse gases as the world's entire road freight. Let's make sure we clean our own house while helping to make the world a better place!
As AI systems increasingly shape the world we live in, questions around trust, transparency, and ethical impact become ever more crucial. At the heart of these concerns lies a fundamental truth: transparency and accessibility contribute towards sustainability. In this talk, together we will explore why open source isn't just an ideological preference—it's a technical necessity for a more sustainable future for AI. We’ll also break down how open source accelerates innovation, improves security and enables community-driven accountability. From real-world examples to accessible tools and demos, this talk makes the case that open source AI paves the way towards a more resilient and sustainable AI ecosystem.
Building green software: how cloud-native platforms can power sustainable app development
Sustainability initiatives are more pressing than ever and cloud platforms can play a key role in reducing environmental impact. We’ll share our experience automating energy-efficient compute scaling, eco-routing workloads, and providing insights into environmental and financial impacts. You’ll discover how tools like electricity maps can provide a global carbon emissions API to help track and reduce the carbon footprint of cloud-native workloads. This session will provide actionable insights for developers, platform engineers, and sustainability advocates seeking to build greener apps.
Why I built another carbon measurement tool for LLMs (and what I learned along the way)
As a sustainability consultant and instructor specializing in sustainable AI practices, I've noticed a critical gap in this space: the need for practical, reliable tools to measure LLM carbon emissions.
I'll share what I discovered while testing existing measurement tools, the challenges my students encountered, and why these experiences drove me to develop a new inference measurement plugin. Through live demonstrations, we'll examine current tools' strengths and limitations, and I'll show you what I'm building to address the gaps I've found.
The energy used for digital content has a substantial carbon footprint. With thoughtful content strategy and content design, we can measure and mitigate these environmental impacts. We'll discuss:
• How to measure the environmental impact of any form of digital asset, from emails to video meetings
• Grappling with the accelerating impacts of AI
• Solutions for change
• How to create more sustainable content
Members of the US Green IT ecosystem as well as our corporate partners will be available to exchange with you on how to accelerate your digital sustainability journey.
Apidays is the world's leading series of API conference. In today’s intricate digital landscape, APIs have emerged as powerful conduits for innovation, bridging the gaps and unlocking new realms of possibility.
“The blossoming of tools and initiatives in greening IT is a heart-warming signal from the digital sector. More than ever sharing experience and insights is pivotal for actors to ramp-up their effort.”
