AI0-001 AI Governance and Ethics Practice Question
A company is training a large language model from scratch and wants to minimise its environmental impact. Which practice aligns with green AI principles?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use model pruning and train on a smaller, representative dataset
Green AI advocates for resource-efficient AI, including using smaller models, pruning, and efficient architectures to reduce carbon footprint. Training larger models with more data increases environmental impact, not reduces it.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Use model pruning and train on a smaller, representative dataset
Why this is correct
Pruning reduces model size and computational cost; training on a smaller dataset also lowers energy consumption, aligning with green AI.
- ✗
Use more GPUs to parallelise training and reduce wall-clock time
Why it's wrong here
More GPUs can increase total energy consumption even if wall-clock time decreases, not necessarily greener.
- ✗
Deploy the model on a cloud provider with renewable energy certificates
Why it's wrong here
While using renewable energy is beneficial, it does not reduce the total energy consumed; green AI focuses on efficiency first.
- ✗
Train the model on a larger dataset to improve accuracy
Why it's wrong here
Larger datasets require more compute and energy, increasing carbon footprint, contrary to green AI.
