Yale Panel Examines AI's Climate Impact in Healthcare

Yale School of Medicine held a March 3 panel discussion convened by associate dean Jaideep Talwalkar that examined the climate and equity impacts of AI use in medical education and health care. Panelists from Yale School of the Environment, Yale New Haven Health, and the Office of the Provost outlined life-cycle emissions, data-center impacts, energy-saving steps (including changes to Yale’s Clarity AI platform and data-center moves to the Massachusetts Green HPC Center), and recommendations for green coding and model selection.
