Contact North | Contact Nord: Our Approach to AI Environmental Impact
We use AI in our applications when it provides a clear education or training benefit.
We recognize AI uses energy, water and computing resources. We review environmental information from our AI model providers and independent sources and consider it when deciding whether to continue using those providers.
If important environmental concerns emerge, we will consider changing how we use a provider or stopping its use. We will update this statement when important new information becomes available.
