The system uses machine learning algorithms. It analyzes vast amounts of operational data. This includes temperatures, equipment settings, and power consumption. The AI identifies patterns humans might miss. It predicts outcomes of different control actions. It finds the best settings to save energy without harming performance.
Google first applied this AI internally. It managed cooling systems in Google’s own data centers. Results showed the AI significantly cut energy used for cooling. It achieved reductions around 40%. This saved Google substantial costs. It also lowered carbon emissions.
The success led to wider deployment. The AI now manages cooling in many Alphabet-owned data centers globally. DeepMind believes the approach has broader potential. It could optimize energy in factories, power grids, or office buildings. The core idea is using AI to control complex industrial systems better.

DeepMind states the AI works continuously. It constantly refines its models. It adapts to changing conditions like weather or equipment status. Human operators oversee the system. They set safety constraints. The AI operates within these limits. This ensures reliability alongside efficiency gains. The company is exploring partnerships. They want to bring this AI technology to other industries needing energy savings.
