Developing and operating green AI-based systems: software engineering approaches and challenges

Silverio Martínez-Fernández

Goals and objectives

Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pervasive in the world we live in. AI‐based systems, defined as those software systems that integrate AI models and components, have outperformed humans in areas as diverse as image processing or multi‐object tracking with applications in critical domains such as healthcare and autonomous driving. In this keynote, I introduce end-to-end software development lifecycles to engineer trustworthy AI-based systems, and then summarize software engineering approaches and challenges for building, operating, and maintaining AI-based systems. Furthermore, I highlight the importance on addressing key quality aspects of green AI-based systems, specifically their energy efficiency to reduce their carbon footprint.
