SCI for AI Fundamentals
Awarded: March 19, 2026
About
You understand how the SCI works. Now let's apply it to AI. This course introduces the Software Carbon Intensity for AI (SCI for AI) specification: a new standard built from the ground up to make AI's carbon footprint transparent, comparable, and actionable.
You won't just learn how the methodology works. You'll understand why every design decision was made, so you can apply it with confidence, explain it to colleagues, and use it to drive real improvements in the AI systems you build and operate.
Outcomes
- Determine whether SCI for AI applies to your product using the functional unit test
- Explain why training and inference require separate metrics and separate accountability
- Map AI lifecycle stages to Provider and Consumer personas
- Calculate and disclose the right SCI scores based on what you've built
- Select appropriate functional units for both Provider and Consumer SCI
- Apply SCI for AI to your organisation and make the case to leadership
