The open-source formula developed by Gravity uses compute time, server power, and grid emissions factors to determine AI-related carbon emissions. This formula will enable other organizations to understand and reduce the environmental impact of their AI adoption [1]. Grove Collaborative is also committed to integrating AI emissions into its overall Scope 3 carbon reporting, investing in nature-based carbon offsets, and identifying opportunities for emissions reduction [1].
The initiative underscores the importance of responsible AI adoption, as highlighted by RBI Deputy Governor M Rajeshwar Rao. Rao emphasized that AI adoption in banking must be done responsibly, with strong governance, ethical use, and alignment with long-term stability. He noted that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will continue to provide an enabling regulatory environment to build a sustainable, AI-powered financial future .
By sharing its open-source AI emissions formula, Grove Collaborative is encouraging industry-wide accountability and transparency. The formula covers both large language model (LLM) queries and non-LLM AI tools, providing a comprehensive approach to measuring AI-related emissions [1].
