AI inference emissions methodology proposed for corporate GHG reporting

A new methodology has been proposed to accurately account for the greenhouse gas emissions generated by AI inference services within corporate sustainability reporting. The framework, detailed in a recent arXiv paper, addresses the current lack of standardized methods, which often lead to overestimations of AI's carbon footprint. It offers a tiered approach, starting with precise token-based calculations and falling back to broader economic models when usage data is unavailable, aiming to provide more realistic emission figures for regulatory compliance.
