用生成式AI写代码会增加碳排放，但合理设计提示词可大幅降低能耗。

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to write and refactor research code, expanding computational workflows. At the same time, Green AI research has largely measured the footprint of models rather than the downstream workflows in which GenAI is a tool. We shift the unit of analysis from models to workflows and treat prompts as decision policies that allocate discretion between researcher and system, governing what is executed and when iteration stops. We contribute in two ways. First, we map the recent Green AI literature into seven themes: training footprint is the largest cluster, while inference efficiency and system level optimisation are growing rapidly, alongside measurement protocols, green algorithms, governance, and security and efficiency trade-offs. Second, we benchmark a modern economic survey workflow, an LDA-based literature mapping implemented with GenAI assisted coding and executed in a fixed cloud notebook, measuring runtime and estimated CO2e with CodeCarbon. Injecting generic green language into prompts has no reliable effect, whereas operational constraints and decision rule prompts deliver large and stable footprint reductions while preserving decision equivalent topic outputs. The results identify human in the loop governance as a practical lever to align GenAI productivity with environmental efficiency.
