Rethinking Cloud and AI Infrastructure — Environmental, Technical, and Governance Challenges
The 1st INFRASTRUCTURE Workshop brings together researchers from Computer Science, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and related fields to critically examine the material, environmental, and socio-technical foundations of today’s computing systems. It addresses:
- The growing environmental impact of datacenters and AI infrastructure,
- The illusion of infinite scalability and its socio-technical consequences, and
- The centralisation and governance of cloud infrastructure
The workshop emphasizes interactive discussion between communities, aiming to generate open questions and dialogue among participants.
Fieke Jansen will deliver the keynote address Governing infrastructures: keeping compute infrastructures within planetary boundaries
