SPONSORED: Video Quick Take: Paul Daugherty on Technology, Transformation, and Sustainability from Accenture
Welcome to the HBR Video Quick Take. I’m Todd Pruzan, senior editor for research and special projects at Harvard Business Review. As we experience a new wave of technology transformation, sustainability has become a top priority for businesses around the world.
And if you just look at some examples, there was a recent study that showed that training a single artificial intelligence model can have the equivalent emissions of five automobiles for their entire life—driven over their entire lifetime. Or concerns about the impact of blockchain, where Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency powered by blockchain, that one cryptocurrency, consumes the equivalent energy of Switzerland.
So many of the challenges we face can be addressed by better uses of technology. But at the same time, we need to pursue more green uses of technology. We were part of, along with many other companies, founding something called the Green Software Foundation to look at bringing companies together to pursue practices that help us use technology in ways that consume less energy, have less environmental impact, and, again, produce more green software.
I’m very encouraged by the progress and believe there’s a lot we can do to develop more green software. All organizations need to really rally behind this.What does this all mean for the CIO? How is the role of the CIO changing as a result?It’s a great question.
