How is Artificial Intelligence Linked to Water Waste? 🌊🤖 Our recent article in Ecology & Environment, in collaboration with the Askola environmental research program, reveals a hidden environmental cost of AI: its significant water footprint. 💡 The Challenge: AI computations in data centers require constant cooling, primarily using water. Much of this water evaporates, contributing to water scarcity. 💧 The Impact: Research shows a single ChatGPT-generated 100-word email can consume over 0.5L of water. Weekly use could waste 27L annually. 🌍 Solutions: Developing water-efficient cooling technologies but also using AI tools mindfully Read more: https://lnkd.in/denqfnNK Israel Society of Ecology and Environmental Sciences (ISEES) ‏‏Yuval Shnaidman‏ Gilad Blank‏ ‏ Noam El al #sustainability #AI #datacenters

What's Your Unique Career Experience? = When you join a new office, sometimes this question is asked to new employees to introduce themselves: What's Your Unique Career Experience? For Intel Corporation employees, it is this: We Witnessed End Of Free Coffee = Intel employees arriving at the company’s offices in Israel this morning were met with an unpleasant surprise: the once well-stocked kitchenettes, offering complimentary coffee, tea, and fruit as is typical in high-tech offices, were now empty. A single sign stood on the counter: “Fruit and beverage service update. Free coffee, tea, and fruit service will end on 27.10.2024.” This change came after the end of the holiday period in Israel. “This may lead to further employee departures,” one Intel Israel employee told Calcalist. “This comes on top of losing company vehicles and cuts to stock options. A 'small' thing like coffee really affects employees—it's just embarrassing.” Intel, facing one of its most challenging crises, announced in August a large-scale cost-cutting plan that includes laying off 15,000 employees, representing over 15% of its workforce. This process includes substantial layoffs within Intel Israel. Layoffs will begin in earnest this week, with managers scheduling meetings with employees selected for redundancy to issue termination letters. Employees will have time to decide whether to accept voluntary retirement packages or proceed to an official hearing to present their case. Those leaving Intel will have access to counseling and career services, including job search assistance, interview preparation, resume workshops, and even psychological support. In total, hundreds are expected to lose their jobs. Another morale-crushing measure is the elimination of company cars. Intel employees at level 7 or above were previously entitled to either a company car or a 3,650-shekel allowance. Removing this benefit effectively reduces salaries by about 10% for many employees. At a recent meeting, staff questioned Intel Israel’s co-CEO Karin Eibschitz-Segal on whether this was legal, given it’s essentially a salary reduction. “The response was vague: ‘We reviewed all aspects, and this is the decision,’” the employee said. “When they cut salaries by 5% before, every employee had to sign off. Now they’re making larger cuts without consent, even though it’s likely in the employment terms.” According to the employee, these measures could lead to more staff resignations beyond the 15% planned: “If the aim was to retain 85% of the workforce, the outcome could be different. The concern is that the best employees—the ones with more options—are the first to leave. It’s a risky approach.” = What's Your Unique Career Experience? My unique experience is this: My Silicon Valley startup Atoga Systems (a Telecom Godbox Feature Factory) sold for half million dollars in 2003 I bought my Silicon Valley home for one million dollars in 2010 ... which I sold for $1.2 million profit in 2023.

Innovation Authority Invests $9.6 Million To Support Tech Jobs in Negev and Galilee The Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות Authority will invest NIS 35 million ($9.6 million) to help tech companies expand their operations in regions that are touched by the war. The funding could be streamed to support tech companies in opening new branches, hiring local talent, and fostering economic growth in the Negev and Galilee. Tech companies will be offered financial grants for practical training for inexperienced employees and funding for experienced employees who will mentor new hires through on-the-job training. “The program is designed to reduce the risk for high-tech companies considering following the path of many others and opening operations outside their main headquarters,” said Israel Innovation Authority CEO Dror Bin. The Israeli tech sector accounts for around 25% of the country’s total income tax revenue and constitutes more than 10% of the workforce.
