Ep 52: How Salesforce is Pushing for Greener AI
We all know we need companies to lead the climate transition, so which companies are doing the work? In this episode of Everybody in the Pool, Molly Wood speaks with Megan Lorenzen, Director of Climate and Energy at Salesforce, about the company's groundbreaking efforts in sustainability. Salesforce has achieved a rare milestone: powering its operations with 100% renewable energy. It’s also pushing industry changes like the Green Code Initiative, which reduces carbon emissions via efficient coding practices. But the company’s newest move is the launch of its Salesforce Sustainable AI Principles, which focus on reducing AI's environmental impact while promoting innovation. These principles direct its own AI development but also call for AI regulation that takes climate impact into account, in addition to other considerations.
