This is especially true for artificial intelligence, which has many applications for aiding climate solutions but also comes with a growing environmental footprint of its own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a report released by the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;Department of Energy in 2024, energy usage from data centers is expected to double and even triple by 2028 \u2014 accounting for&nbsp;roughly 6.7&nbsp;to 12% of the nation\u2019s total electricity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Darren Nguyen, Harsh Malik and Vishnuvardhan Kandala, three undergraduate students at the University of Washington Bothell who aspire to go into tech careers, envisioned a greener future for AI during a hackathon event last academic year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs people in tech, I feel that we have a responsibility because we understand how technology can contribute in a positive way but also contribute to environmental harm,\u201d said Malik, a 2025 graduate who majored in Data Visualization and minored in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering. \u201cWe know that it can be a driving change, but if we don&#8217;t take the lead in solving these problems, then who will? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that tech isn&#8217;t just about writing code or building tools. It\u2019s about creating impact. It\u2019s about using our skills to make systems smarter, greener and more equitable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Addressing issues close to home<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Malik and Kandala first met at Highland Middle School in Bellevue, Washington. Growing up in such a lush, green state, Kandala said they\u2019ve always had an appreciation for nature. Over the years, they\u2019ve also witnessed the summers getting hotter and the smoke from wildfires impacting the air quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeeing that pollution creeping in, it really hit home for us because we are both originally from India,\u201d said Kandala, a\u00a0junior\u00a0majoring\u00a0in Data Visualization. \u201cHe\u2019s\u00a0from Delhi,\u00a0and\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0from Hyderabad, and those are both cities that face major air pollution challenges.\u00a0We\u2019ve\u00a0seen what humans can do to a place\u00a0\u2014 and\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0realized that protecting the environment\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0optional,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0urgent.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a future problem\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0happening right now, and we want to be part of the solution.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they didn\u2019t plan to go to the same college, they were both drawn to UW Bothell for its smaller campus size and its degree pathways to tech careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been in the same classrooms for more than a decade,\u201d Kandala said. \u201cSomeday we hope to be in the same conference room, too.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malik first met Darren Nguyen, a senior also majoring in Data Visualization, while in class together. Nguyen, too, shared a passion for how data can be used to effect positive change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy professional goals are to pursue roles in data analytics and science with an interest toward health care and sustainability,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cAs a student in the Data Visualization major, I\u2019ve gotten to see the real-world impacts that data has on people and how it can make change for the better.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;We believe that tech isn\u2019t just about writing code or building tools. It\u2019s about creating impact. It\u2019s about using our skills to make systems smarter, greener and more equitable.&#8221; <\/p><cite>Harsh Malik, Data Visualization \u201925 with minor in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Working to save the world<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the course \u201cAdvanced Data Visualization,\u201d Malik and Nguyen teamed up on a project that used geographic information system mapping to analyze disparities in Seattle\u2019s electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The goal was to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;underserved areas and recommend strategic locations for new public charging stations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I have enjoyed most about my time at UW Bothell is the opportunity to engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary projects that connect technology with real-world impact,\u201d Malik said. \u201cI particularly enjoyed working on data-driven sustainability projects, which reinforced my passion for using technology for the public good.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three of them first joined forces as a group at the annual hackathon event sponsored by Avanade, a global professional services company. The 2025 theme, \u201cUWB Hacks: Save The World!,\u201d invited students to unleash their inner hero and unite to solve some of the planet\u2019s biggest problems. The trio looked to address AI\u2019s energy dilemma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s concerning that most people don\u2019t have the background information about something that\u2019s being used every day in their lives,\u201d Malik said. \u201cIt takes 519 milliliters to cool down the data centers and about 2.9 kilowatt hours per prompt. What we\u2019ve created is something that\u2019s better for the environment.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the primary factors contributing to AI\u2019s high energy usage is the sheer volume of data that is analyzed and then synthesized to create a response to each question or prompt the user inputs. As anyone who has used a generative AI model such as ChatGPT knows, the user typically gets a lot more information than they\u2019re asking for, Kandala said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their solution? Green AI: An environmentally conscious alternative that improves energy and water usage in AI models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating a more sustainable option<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Green AI uses lighter, more efficient models that provide shorter answers \u2014 which lowers electricity and water use each time someone makes a request. It aims to provide responses that are 80% shorter without sacrificing speed, the team reported, making it not only more sustainable but also more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSmall tweaks at the code level can lead to giant impacts globally,\u201d they noted in their presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the three-day event, the team had a working prototype that allows users to turn on a green mode that provides shorter responses. The team also went beyond the technical aspects of the app to incorporate a business model that incentivizes people to use the green mode through a points-based reward system \u2014 allowing users to earn points and redeem them to donate a water bottle, plant a tree or even get cash back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team also believes the app can help spread awareness about the environmental impacts of AI and encourage people to use the technology more intentionally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a 2024 study by Carnegie Mellon University and AI startup Hugging Face, generating a single image using AI takes as much energy as charging a phone to full power. \u201cI hope that people realize the harm they\u2019re doing by using AI just for fun,\u201d Kandala said. \u201cThey need to realize the impact they have and reduce their carbon footprint to save the world.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to creating greener technologies, the team also expressed a desire to support change at a federal policy level to curb AI\u2019s resource impacts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jumpstarting careers in tech<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the hackathon, Green AI was awarded the Student Favorite Prize. The project also caught the eye of one of the judges, Neha Srivastava, co-founder of Future Force, a startup that connects innovators with the resources they need to make positive change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impressed by the students\u2019 work, she offered them internships, which they\u2019re currently completing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the first Hackathon I\u2019ve ever done, I\u2019m surprised that this project went this far and the outcome is still going on,\u201d Nguyen said. \u201cIt has opened up so many connections that I would have never thought possible in my first year at UW Bothell, and I\u2019m glad to have made so many friends and connections in my final year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trio also presented the project at UW Bothell\u2019s Innovators Hub, attracting attention from potential investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis project has opened a lot of doors for us,\u201d said Malik, who is now pursuing a graduate degree in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering at UW Bothell. \u201cA couple of venture capitalists have already expressed interest and are willing to provide the infrastructure needed to bring the idea into a more advanced and impactful shape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis internship and continued education represent meaningful next steps in my journey, and I look forward to creating technology that makes a positive difference in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through a\u00a0recent\u00a0hackathon project, three students aim to reduce AI\u2019s climate impact while pursuing green careers in tech.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":32838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_is_archived":false,"_archived_contact_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[202,204,1],"tags":[427,428,206,314,213,225],"school":[419],"class_list":["post-32837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-news","category-students","category-uncategorized","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-environment","tag-hackathon","tag-sustainability","tag-technology","school-school-of-ias"],"acf":{"related_links":{"toggle_visibility":false,"link_1":"","link_2":"","link_3":"","link_4":"","link_5":""},"highlight_box":{"toggle_visibility":false,"title":"","content":"","button":"","button_style":"angled-purple-button","button_screen_reader_text":""},"contact_type_1":{"toggle_visibility":true,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"contact_type_2":{"toggle_visibility":false,"contact_title":"","email":"","phone":"","box":"","address_line_1":"","address_line_2":"","location":""},"social_media":{"toggle_visibility":false,"facebook_url":"","instagram_url":"","linkedin_url":"","twitter_url":"","youtube_url":""},"blog_archive_sidebar_visibility":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
