Nokia: SustainabilityxAI

Building inclusive, more sustainable AI to power our future

AI is changing how the world works and how much energy it uses. As AI traffic grows, networks and data centers face pressure to move huge amounts of data without a matching rise in power use.

We seek to understand where AI and sustainability meet by exploring three questions:

  • How AI-native networks use built-in intelligence to manage energy in real time.
  • How optical and network design helps data centers grow with minimal power.
  • How data infrastructure can support electrification, grid modernization and renewable energy in Europe and the U.S.

Sustainable AI also needs to be inclusive and trustworthy. The series examines how expanding connectivity and digital skills can help close the AI divide, and why responsible, sovereign AI matters for long-term growth.

Nokia’s goal is AI capacity that scales while keeping energy use in check. Explore the stories below.
