Bristol institutions target environmental costs across advertising, AI data centres and illegal waste dumping
University of Bristol and UWE Bristol projects aim to cut the carbon footprint of advertising and artificial intelligence, while a Gloucestershire farm reports over 200 tonnes of illegally dumped waste.
Bristol's universities are separately working to reduce environmental harms from high-carbon advertising and energy-intensive artificial intelligence, as a nearby illegal waste dump has been reported [1][2][3].
UWE Bristol researchers have developed guidance to tackle high-carbon advertising on London's transport network [1].
University of Bristol researchers are helping a startup that has secured more than £600,000 to develop technology that could reduce energy waste in the data centres powering artificial intelligence [3].
In the surrounding area, BBC News Gloucestershire reported that more than 200 tonnes of waste has been illegally dumped at Severnside Farm and that a ban has been imposed on "reckless" waste disposal at the 200-tonne dump [2].
