[NVIDIA says data centers “should be assets to the community” and should be promoted in a way that is recognized by the community] On November 11th, NVIDIA stated that companies building data centers need to advance projects in a way that is recognized by the local community. “Our view on artificial intelligence, and data centers in particular, is that data centers can and should be an asset to communities,” Josh Parker, head of sustainability at Nvidia, said on Wednesday. “There are bad ways to build data centers, but there are also many, many good ways,” he said. Parker said Nvidia, which dominates the supply of chips used to train and run artificial intelligence models, "has always been focused on innovation." This means focusing on areas that can improve "data center sustainability," particularly energy efficiency, but also aspects such as water conservation.
