Provides a much-needed depiction of AI infrastructures as inseparable from ecological, social and economic justice
Makes visible the media and communication perspective on AI infrastructures regarding questions of sustainability
Extends environmental media research to the specificity of AI imaginaries, materialities, economies, and governance
This open access book assembles cutting-edge research in media and communication exploring AI infrastructures and sustainability. It builds upon and expands perspectives on media infrastructure, addressing critical issues such as environmental impacts, economic concentration, and social justice – areas that have not been comprehensively examined under the umbrella term “sustainability” within discussions on AI. The authors explore the complex social, economic and material processes through which AI formations take shape, and offer novel perspectives on the entanglement of digital media, AI and sustainability discourses as they manifest in the shaping of futures with AI.

DCWatch is a collaborative research project, aiming to permit society to better understand the dynamics of datacenters expansion and their past, current and future footprint on both society and the environment.
"L’article 15 permet de qualifier par décret de projet d’intérêt national majeur (PINM) tout datacenter revêtant « une importance particulière pour la transition numérique, la transition écologique ou la souveraineté nationale ». Ce statut ouvre la voie à des procédures accélérées, mais aussi à une plus grande main de l’État dans l’urbanisme et l’environnement, parfois au détriment des élus locaux.
Concrètement, le texte vise à réduire les délais d’implantation, aujourd’hui souvent compris entre cinq et sept ans, en assouplissant les autorisations d’urbanisme, d’environnement et de raccordement électrique. L’objectif affiché est de rendre la France plus compétitive face à l’Allemagne ou aux Pays‑Bas, où les datacenters peuvent se déployer plusieurs années plus vite."
