Summary
This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) project aims to establish a foundational framework for modeling and reducing the environmental impact of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. By mitigating the massive energy demands of advanced computing, this project serves the national interest by ensuring energy infrastructure resilience and sustaining United States leadership in AI innovation. The project will bring transformative changes by enabling engineers to predict and minimize AI carbon emissions before deployment, pivoting from reactive energy measurement. This will be achieve
