SUMMARY:SICSA Education Seminar - Debugging Education: Fixing Accessibility Gaps in Computing Science
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our November Education Seminar at the University of Aberdeen where we turn our focus to accessibility\, inclusion\, and innovative teaching within Computing Science education. We are delighted to welcome our speakers\, Tatiana Tungli and Miles Everett\, who will explore different aspects of creating more equitable learning environments for all students\, inside and outside the classroom. The seminar will begin with presentations\, followed by coffee\, networking\, and an open discussion to reflect and exchange ideas and experiences with colleagues. \nRegister for in-person or online tickets

SUMMARY:LOCOS Seminar -  Ana Valdivia: "Quantifying the environmental impacts of AI supply chains"
DESCRIPTION:Low Carbon Computing Seminar \nAna Valdivia\, Departmental Research Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, Government\, and Policy at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII)\, will deliver their talk “Quantifying the environmental impacts of AI supply chains” \nIn recent decades\, several studies have demonstrated that AI has significant environmental impacts. As the size of algorithms has increased\, AI now consumes more resources than previous machine learning models. More energy\, land\, water\, and raw materials are required to power this technology\, leading to carbon emissions that contribute to global warming\, water withdrawal from rivers and local communities\, and land acidification\, all of which pose serious risks to flora and fauna. However\, the challenge lies in developing standardised methodologies to quantify the environmental impacts of AI. Currently\, there is a lack of publicly available information on AI’s environmental footprint\, but one of the few data sources is the corporate sustainability reports published by companies each year. In this lecture\, we will explore the opportunities and limitations of using this data\, and how machine learning techniques can be applied to analyse it\, shedding light on the relevant aspects of AI’s contribution to environmental issues across its supply chains. \nSee past and future LOCOS Seminars at https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/research/researchthemes/lowcarbon/

SUMMARY:LOCOS Seminar -  Thomas Fricke: "Resource Consumption of Data Centers and AI"
DESCRIPTION:Low Carbon Computing Seminar \nThomas Fricke will deliver their talk “Resource Consumption of Data Centers and AI” \nNot only the energy consumption of AI is exploding. Less known is that other resources like water or metal are also affected. The talk gives an overview on the devastating impact of data centers on our environment. Degrowth scenarios seem to be the only way to escape from this ecological nightmare.\nSummarizing the known facts and serious predictions the talk gives an overview on the upcoming possible and impossible scenarios of the energy and resource consumptions. Even if predictions are not easy economical and ecological limits are discussed. Finally\, degrowth will be discussed. Can we degrow data centers without loosing too much of our digital life? How much can be saved using alternative technologies?\nWhat alternatives do we have? Saving some resources might easier than you think! \nSee past and future LOCOS Seminars at https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/computing/research/researchthemes/lowcarbon/
