A new paper proposes a cap-and-trade system for artificial intelligence to address concerns about accessibility and sustainability. The authors argue that the current industry trend of hyper-scaling AI models, which prioritizes size and computational resources over efficiency, has led to increased costs and environmental impact. Their proposed system aims to incentivize efficient AI operations, thereby reducing emissions and creating more opportunities for academics and smaller companies. AI
