‘Karnataka can lead in green AI with responsible energy use’: KDEM CEO
BENGALURU: Karnataka is well positioned to demonstrate a model for green artificial intelligence, but the rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data centre infrastructure must be balanced with responsible energy use and climate considerations, said Sanjeev Gupta, Chief Executive Officer, Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), at the AI for Climate Tech Summit 2026 on Tuesday.
The summit, organised by Climate Collective Foundation as part of Bangalore Climate Data Week, examined how AI can deliver measurable climate benefits while accounting for its environmental footprint.
