It was a pleasure speaking at the Google I/O event on Lean Agentic AI.

As organizations move from deploying a handful of AI agents to thousands, efficiency can no longer be an afterthought. We need to design agentic systems that are efficient by design—across cost, energy, and carbon.

One of the most rewarding parts was the discussion with developers after the session. Many hadn't considered that every architectural decision in an AI system has implications beyond performance—it also affects cost, energy, and carbon. Raising that awareness is important because sustainability isn't just about reducing environmental impact; it's also one of the most effective ways to lower the total operational cost of AI. That's how we make sustainable AI the new engineering norm.

As part of the Green Software Foundation (GSF), I'm also excited about the progress we're making with the SCI for AI standard. Rather than focusing on offsets, SCI for AI provides a standardized way to measure, compare, and continuously reduce the carbon impact of AI workloads. The emphasis is simple: measure what matters, then engineer for reduction.

Many attendees requested the slides and demo after the session, so I've made them available on GitHub:

I'd love to hear your thoughts and continue the conversation on building lean, efficient, and sustainable agentic AI.
