Most companies think of AI's carbon footprint as a data center problem. But the infrastructure powering your AI queries is rapidly diversifying — and each deployment model carries a very different sustainability profile. In this episode, Paul breaks down five emerging AI infrastructure options and what they mean for corporate emissions accounting.

Paul makes the case that as AI deployment shifts away from traditional cloud infrastructure, the CSO has to be at the table with the CIO and CFO. The deployment decision is one of the most consequential choices a company can make for its GHG profile — and right now, most organizations are making it blind to the emissions implications.
