TechnologyApple keeps its 2030 climate target as AI computing grows
Fast Company reports that Apple's slower cloud buildout and on-device processing have limited the data-center pressure facing several rivals.
TLDR
Apple says it remains on track to make its full carbon footprint neutral by 2030 even as its use of AI grows. Fast Company reports that the company has cut emissions 60% from its 2015 baseline while revenue increased more than 75%, against a target of a 75% reduction before using carbon credits for the remainder. Apple's slower AI rollout, on-device processing and smaller data-center buildout have limited one source of rising industry emissions, although most of its footprint still comes from products and the supply chain.
