For example, you could have flexibility in which AI model you use when, like opting for a less accurate but more energy efficient model when the grid is running mostly on fossil fuels, and vice versa when there's lots of solar and wind. Dr. Kadipali and his colleagues built a system that looks at the grid and adapts, including by shifting which models it relies on, to minimize pollution without sacrificing too much accuracy or speed.
