Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a routine tool in biomedical research, helping scientists analyse data, understand diseases and develop new treatments. But as AI models grow larger and more complex, they also rely on increasing amounts of energy, data storage and computing power. These environmental impacts are rarely visible to the researchers using the technology. As part of this year’s
