The talk will take place on Monday, January 20th, at 12:00 PM in the Cloud Room of CITIC at the University of A Coruña. This conference is part of the activities organized by the INDITEX-UDC Chair of Artificial Intelligence in Green Algorithms, within the lecture series titled “Green Convergence for a Sustainable Future.”

In the session, José Duato, CTO of Qsimov Quantum Computing and a renowned academic, will discuss the energy challenges of current AI systems and address the environmental impact of artificial intelligence techniques, with a special focus on the high energy consumption associated with these technologies.

During the talk, the speaker will analyze the technologies already implemented to optimize energy consumption, as well as disruptive developments that promise to make artificial intelligence more efficient and environmentally friendly.

With a career spanning over 30 years as a professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, José Duato has an extensive resume that includes more than 500 scientific publications and prestigious awards such as the Rey Jaime I Award for New Technologies and the National Research Award Julio Rey Pastor. His experience in computing and communications positions him as a key figure in the search for sustainable solutions for the future of artificial intelligence. He is a full member of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain.

This activity, open to the public, is part of the commitment of the University of A Coruña (UDC) and the INDITEX-UDC Chair of AI in Green Algorithms to promote more conscious and responsible technology.

Admission is free, and registration is required through this form.

UDC-Inditex Chair of AI in Green Algorithms

The UDC-Inditex Chair of AI in Green Algorithms aims to promote research, innovation, and knowledge transfer in the field of artificial intelligence and green algorithms to contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection. Some specific objectives include:

• Developing training programs in green AI.
• Promoting research and innovation in the field of green AI by identifying challenges and fostering public-private cooperation.
• Facilitating the transfer and exploitation of the chair’s research results through the commercialization of services and products and the creation of spin-offs.
• Promoting the dissemination of research results and knowledge in green AI through the publication of articles and the organization of outreach and citizen science events and activities.
• Consolidating the chair as a reference in the field of green AI at regional, national, and international levels through participation in events and working groups, collaboration with other institutions, and identification of funding opportunities.

A team of 20 people forms the chair, 16 of whom are affiliated with CITIC of UDC. Of the total group, 10 are women and 10 are men. It is a multidisciplinary group, “as is necessary in research on green algorithms,” says the project’s principal investigator, Verónica Bolón, “which requires the support of research groups in the fields of artificial intelligence and computer science, environmental issues, and ethical, social, and economic research.”
