Supplement 53 to ITU-T L-series Recommendations provides guidelines to policy-makers, technologists, innovators, environmentalists and other stakeholders from the technology industry, environmental sciences and policy arena on the topic of environmental efficiency criteria to assess the environmental impacts of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. These guidelines aim to serve as common factors for the above-mentioned stakeholders to consider while developing, deploying and promoting any piece of technology into the market and society, rather providing than a comprehensive list of criteria. While "emerging technologies" is a broad term, this Supplement identifies a few sample technologies through their accordant applications and areas of work in 16 applicable industry domains, which stakeholders can use as references to improve the environmental efficiency of their own technological products and/or services. When discussing environmental efficiency, this Supplement approaches environmental efficiency criteria from an adjusted model of life-cycle assessment of a product, within which three stages of environmental impacts – materials, use and end of life – are examined. The Supplement provides both long-term and short-term strategies, which include not only specific examples for certain technologies addressing the three stages of environmental efficiency, but also an instrument to be used to localize such guidelines as well as to allow global benchmarking.
