Sustainable AI and Blockchain: Optimizing Energy Efficiencyin Data Engineering Infrastructure

The societal perspectives on energy use and sustainability are further complicated by incredible ‎advancements in systems that inform through data-intensive information engineering. Artificial ‎Intelligence (AI) provides data-rich capability in data-rich environments, while the energy system ‎uses much less energy in aggregate as an energy system comparable to blockchain applications. As ‎predictive and adaptive intelligence has proven to be more efficient, energy utilization is also ‎evolving in AI and its resource and data management ecologies. The decentralized elements, such ‎as openness and security of blockchain applications, also greatly add to contact reliability of the ‎energy operative performance of the entire ecosystem by reducing wasted and/or non-usage of ‎energy and/or other resource domains through information engineering systems. The current use of ‎smart grids as important for smart grids considering edge computing/applications and thermal fluid ‎systems applications for city microclimate controls for developing economies is included and ‎analyzed. The paper is a thoroughly informative presentation of smart cities with AI, blockchain ‎technology, and sustainable resource consumption and use, based on emergent literature to ‎communicate meaningful contributions to the discourse area‎.
