Google install AI-powered cooling system for data centre - Information Age

Although human intervention will occur when needed, the DeepMind system will take screenshots every five minutes to analyse where and when energy consumption levels can be reduced. DeepMind said in a recent blog post: "Even minor improvements would provide significant energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions to help combat climate change." Any necessary changes are checked for predicted energy efficiency and temperature levels, as well as any possuble safety repercussions, before being implemented. Google have reported energy savings of approximately 30% as a result of the use of DeepMind's cooling system.
