Welcome to the "Sustainability in the Digital Age" series
In an era where digital technologies are reshaping industries and daily life, the environmental impact of AI systems has become a growing concern. This course explores efficient AI methodologies to address these challenges. From deep learning model compression to low-bit quantization and collaborative inference, we delve into techniques that enhance computational efficiency and reduce energy consumption. In Week 2, we focus on low-bit quantization specifically for large language models (LLMs), showcasing cutting-edge open-source tools and models. Join us to learn how to build sustainable AI systems while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
This course is part of the Sustainability in the Digital Age series, a collaborative project between colleagues from Stanford University, SAP and the Hasso Plattner Institute.

Knowledge
There two preparatory course options we found, which should be suitable in preparation for this course:
More comprehensive, in German: Praktische Einführung in Deep Learning für Computer Vision
Focused on the basics, in English: Week 5 of CS50’s Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python
Time required: The course runs for two weeks with a total workload of approximately 6-10 hours.
All learning materials (Video lectures and slides, additional reading materials and case studies, self-tests) are available from the start of the course. The final exam is activated at the end of the first week and remains open until the course ends, giving participants two weeks to complete the content and one week for the exam.
