系统梳理绿智算全生命周期碳排放问题,给出可操作的减碳方案。

Green AI: A systematic review and meta-analysis of its definitions, lifecycle models, hardware and measurement attempts

  • 构建五阶段绿智算生命周期模型,覆盖从硬件到部署的全流程
  • 提出融合估算与实测的校准测量框架,支持跨厂商比较
  • 适合关注AI可持续性的研究者、工程师和政策制定者

人工智能全生命周期——从硬件到开发、部署与复用——带来能源、碳、水及隐含影响等多重负担。云服务商工具虽提升透明度,但存在异构性,常忽略水足迹与价值链影响,限制可比性与可复现性。解决这些多维负担需采用生命周期方法,将各阶段明确映射至生命周期评估(LCA)阶段,并结合硬件、部署位置、能源结构、冷却方式、调度策略等系统杠杆,实现设施、系统、设备与工作负载层级的校准测量。本文(i)建立统一、可操作的绿智算定义,区别于可持续智能;(ii)形式化五阶段生命周期模型,使能源、碳、水及隐含影响成为核心指标;(iii)通过计划-执行-检查-行动(PDCA)循环与决策关口实现治理;(iv)系统化边缘-云连续体中的软硬件减负策略;(v)提出结合估算模型与直接计量的校准测量框架,支持可复现、厂商无关的对比。整合定义、流程、硬件策略与测量体系,为研究人员、实践者与政策制定者提供可落地的证据依据。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Across the Artificial Intelligence (AI) lifecycle - from hardware to development, deployment, and reuse - burdens span energy, carbon, water, and embodied impacts. Cloud provider tools improve transparency but remain heterogeneous and often omit water and value chain effects, limiting comparability and reproducibility. Addressing these multi dimensional burdens requires a lifecycle approach linking phase explicit mapping with system levers (hardware, placement, energy mix, cooling, scheduling) and calibrated measurement across facility, system, device, and workload levels. This article (i) establishes a unified, operational definition of Green AI distinct from Sustainable AI; (ii) formalizes a five phase lifecycle mapped to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) stages, making energy, carbon, water, and embodied impacts first class; (iii) specifies governance via Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) cycles with decision gateways; (iv) systematizes hardware and system level strategies across the edge cloud continuum to reduce embodied burdens; and (v) defines a calibrated measurement framework combining estimator models with direct metering to enable reproducible, provider agnostic comparisons. Combining definition, lifecycle processes, hardware strategies, and calibrated measurement, this article offers actionable, evidence based guidance for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
