The Summit of Action has begun four programs that direct sustainable progress to it through energy monitoring, environmental standards, access to public resources and ethical governance.

At the Paris action summit he, the air buzzed with magnificent statements – mainly financial ones. Europe is making new funds for the development of it. So are the United Arab Emirates. Stargate may be the biggest bet in the city, but it’s not the only one.
The numbers are considerable: French President Emmanuel Macron has made 109 billion euros for local initiatives, while the United Arab Emirates will invest 50 billion euros in a campus of European Data Center. Both are Dwarf from the Stargate $ 500 billion project at the US, led by Softbank, Openai, Oracle and MGX.
However, beyond financial promises, tangible progress on key topics – such as public service, the future of work, innovation and culture, trust in it and global governance – it was more difficult to determine. Here are four new initiatives – each with the problem of consistency of it from another angle -.
1) Energy result he: behavior of transparency in the urine of him
In the US alone, electricity consumption in the data center is projected to increase by 4.4% of the total use of electricity in 2023 in a 6.7% –12% shock by 2028, mainly driven by appetite I He. To meet this flying requirement, the US is adding 46 Gigavat with natural gas capacity by 2030 – equivalent to the entire Norwegian electricity system.
“He is increasingly integrating into our daily lives, affecting countless stakes of interest, however her environmental trace remains unclear, ” says Bruna Sellin Trevelin, a legal advisor in facial embracing. “Without greater transparency and clear frames, we cannot make really informed decisions. Community and international efforts such as the energy outcome he and the coalition for sustainable one are essential to ensure that sustainability is not merely a conversation point, but a true, common commitment“
Energy result is the main mind of a coalition that includes Salesforce, Hugging Face, Cohe and Carnegie Mellon University.
It represents the first standardized framework for measuring and comparing the consumption of it – a previously dark metric. The initiative has launched a public chart of 166 models and a comparison portal for companies to present additional models, both open -sourced and owned.
Boris Gamazaychikov, the head of he in Salesforce, highlights its importance: “So far, there was no clear way to compare the patterns it based on environmental impact, And the owner’s models did not have a safe route for appreciation. Energy outcome he eliminates these obstacles, empowering businesses, developers and policymakers to make informed decisions regarding models of low impact“
He highlights urgent shares:“ This is critical for the industry as a whole. Building new energy infrastructure and increasing fossil fuel development in data centers It underlines the urgency of addressing this issue. “
2) Coalition for Sustainable one: Approximation I with SDG goals
‘The steady one’ can be a slippery term. For some, it is about reducing the carbon footprint of it. For organizations that form the ‘Coalition for Sustainable’, it is also about “providing it contributes to the UN 2030 agenda and the goals of sustainable development (SDG), focusing on climate action and environmental protection”.
Leaded by France in cooperation with the UN Environment Program (UNEP) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), this coalition has gathered an impressive partner 91 – including 37 technology companies, 11 countries and five international organizations.
Although there are no binding financial commitments, the coalition mission is clear: standardize the environmental impact measurements of it, stimulate the development of energy efficiency, and create aligned solutions with global sustainability goals.
The Summit also launched additional initiatives: a scientific work on the environmental performance of him, a wild hackathon he and the first global observation of the International Energy Agency dedicated to him and the energy.
Sara Hooker, head of Chere for him and VP in Chere, asserts the value of the coalition: “We look forward to working with the coalition for the sustainable one along with other industry leaders as part of our broader commitment to the efficiency of He has never believed this endless computing jumping is the solution, and as a border research lab, our main focus is to reduce the amount of computing that is required for progress.
3) Current: Public Interest Service (AI)
Given a wider opinion beyond environmental concerns, the current one aims to radically reshape the landscape and through large -scale initiatives that serve the public interest.
With an initial investment of $ 400 million from the French government, cooperative, leading governments and industry partners, the current one is ambitious – aiming at $ 2.5 billion in funding over five years.
The initiative lies in three pillars: expanding access to high value data, locally important in sectors such as health care, media and education; promoting open standards to ensure that systems remain transparent, adaptable and inclusive; and the development of strong frameworks for accountability, transparency, audit and public engagement.
“Whoever benefits from him will be determined by the choices we make today,” says Vidushi Marda, director of partnerships in the current one. “With the right choices, we can create an open, public ecosystem, with access to valuable data that enable cooperation and promote innovations that provide tangible improvements in people’s lives.”
4) Roost: Protecting the digital future
As investments prevailed in the summit story, conversations between property owners and investors on both sides of the Atlantic revealed constant concerns about the security and security of it. Dr. Johannes Lenhard, CEO of Ventureeesg, notes: “People are aware of possible negative impacts and are prone to identifying and softening them.”
Navrina Singh, founder and CEO and Credo, a platform of government and he, underlines the urgency: “What’S is becoming more and clearer from the narrative and the results of the summit is that organizations must take ownership of their governance. While many models and assessment tools already exist, there is an increasing need for evaluations, standards and standards specific to the use of cases and industry. effective it, unless they decide the right government. “
Roost, a new initiative incubated by Columbia University with over $ 27 million in funds from technology enterprises and philanthropic entities, directly responds to these concerns.
Its primary mission focuses on internet security, with particular emphasis on protecting children in the age of it. While the generating increases the dangers of harmful content, Roost aims to create a scaled, interactive security infrastructure, starting with a set of free tools to detect and smooth the internet materials of child exploitation.
“We need real alternatives for the closed, with black boxes,” Lenhard adds. “We believe very strongly that investors in the early phase, in particular, should consider the companies in which they invest. Anydo coalition that enhances awareness and spreading tools and resources to get investors in this track is useful. We must have Alternative positive visions – for Europe and the world. “
