As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, consuming substantial energy and threatening environmental harm, companies are seeking solutions to lessen its ecological impact.

Browser company Opera announced its plans to deploy a new AI cluster powered entirely by green energy in Keflavik, Iceland, on Wednesday.
