L’administration Trump efface des millions de données scientifiques, la résistance s’organise
Cancel que ça s'arrête ? Depuis l’investiture de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche, puis la signature de centaines de décrets, nous assistons à un autodafé numérique de tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin aux politiques pour la diversité, l’inclusion, l’équité et à la justice climatique. Le processus est méthodique et tout y passe. Analyse.

Understanding the environmental impact of generative AI services
Understanding the environmental impact of generative AI services
divpGenerative AI (Gen-AI) represents a new stage in digital transformation through its many applications. Unfortunately, by accelerating the growth of digital technology, Gen-AI is contributing to the multiple environmental damages caused by its sector. The question of the sustainability of IT must include this new technology and its applications, by estimating its environmental impact. We propose various ways of improving the measurement of Gen-AI's environmental impact. Whether using life-cycle analysis methods or direct measurement experiments, we illustrate our methods by studying Stable Diffusion a Gen-AI image generation available as a service. By calculating the environmental costs of this Gen-AI service from end to end, we broaden our view of the impact of these technologies. We show that Gen-AI, as a service, generates an impact through the use of numerous user terminals and networks. We also show that decarbonizing the sources of electricity for these services will not be enough to solve the problem of their sustainability, due to their consumption of energy and rare metals. This consumption will inevitably raise the question of feasibility in a world of finite resources. We therefore propose our methodology as a means of measuring the impact of Gen-AI in advance. Our approach differentiates the embodied and operational impacts of Gen-AI in order to consider the sustainability of models and equipment. Such solution will provide valuable data for discussing the sustainability or otherwise of Gen-AI solutions in a more transparent and comprehensive way./p/div

Data Centres Code Of Conduct
Data Centres Code Of Conduct
This group has been created to accommodate the Code of Conduct for Data Centres Energy Efficiency.The Data Centres Energy Efficiency CoC has been established in response to increasing energy consumption in data centres and the need to reduce the related environmental, economic and energy supply security impacts. The aim is to inform and stimulate data centre operators and owners to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner without hampering the mission critical function of data centres. The Code of Conduct aims to achieve this by improving understanding of energy demand within the data centre, raising awareness, and recommending energy efficient best practice and targets.This Code of Conduct is a voluntary initiative aimed to bring interested stakeholders together, including the coordination of other similar activities by manufacturers, vendors, consultants and utilities. Parties signing up will be expected to follow the intent of this Code of Conduct and abide by a set of agreed commitments.For more information on The European Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centre Download the brouchure  ICT CoC Data Centres Applicantsicon Become a Participant icon CoC Participants iconCoC Endorsers

The Accessibility Blame Game: The Fallacy of the 'Lazy Developer'
The Accessibility Blame Game: The Fallacy of the 'Lazy Developer'
In the digital accessibility industry, a pervasive narrative persists - "If only developers cared more about accessibility...". But this narrative is unfair, and it misrepresents the real problem. Accessibility failures are rarely about individual laziness; they stem from systemic organizational shortcomings. This article examines why blaming developers is counterproductive and proposes a holistic approach to improving digital accessibility across organizations.
