Researchers today produce more data than ever before. At the same time, AI is increasing the energy requirements of data centers. How can both be organized responsibly? Professor Achim Streit explains why good research data management and new concepts for data centers go hand in hand.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now embedded in nearly every aspect of text, image, and video processing. Yet we often don’t fully understand how AI arrives at its results. This understanding is crucial if we want to use AI reliably in critical areas such as energy supply. That is precisely what tenure-track professor Benjamin Schäfer at KIT is working on.
