From Stacks to Circuits: A Regenerative Socio-Technical Roadmap for AI Infrastructure within Planetary Boundaries (opens in new tab)

Current scaling trajectories for Generative AI, typified by linear supply-side "stacks," prioritize performance density while externalizing significant thermodynamic and material costs. As the "Twin Transition" of green and digital transformation accelerates, the industry faces technology gaps - including Scope 3 emissions and e-waste recycling - that impede sustainable scaling and lead to social tensions. This study proposes a Regenerative Soci...
