Outline Action Item Details

Required Tasks

1. Workshop Transcript Query and Content Extraction

  • Access all SCI for AI workshop transcripts from the 6-week workshop series
  • Run targeted queries through transcripts using the policy brief questions identified during the meeting
  • Extract relevant sections that address policymaker concerns and technical requirements
  • Organize extracted content by theme and policy area for easy reference

2 Key Policy Questions to Query Against Transcripts

Technical Foundation Questions

  • What is green software? How is it achievable? How do we incentivise it? What are the prerequisites to achieving it?
  • What are the environmental costs of using AI-enabled software? What are the benefits?
  • Common myths rerun the deployment of greener AI.
  • How AI drives datacentre demand, and how it can be done more responsibly
  • What are the impacts of general public utilization of AI-enabled software, vs. business uses? Should they be regulated differently? Or is this best addressed at the source level?

Policy Translation Questions

  • Regulatory approaches for different types of AI usage (consumer vs. business)

  • Infrastructure considerations for sustainable AI deployment

Implementation Questions

  • Actionable steps organizations can take to implement green AI practices
  • Measurement and verification approaches for environmental claims
  • Industry best practices that could inform policy recommendations

3. Content Organization and Synthesis

  • Identify key insights that directly address policymaker concerns raised in the meeting
  • Highlight technical recommendations that can be translated into policy language
  • Note expert opinions and consensus points from workshop participants

4. Expert Coordination

  • Brief Naveen (primary AI workshop driver) on policy brief objectives and timeline
  • Coordinate availability for 30-minute consultation at August 19 meeting
  • Prepare summary materials for expert review prior to meeting
  • Consider inviting Asim as additional technical expert if available

5. Deliverable Preparation
