Summary
In this interview, Renaud Heluin, president of the Green IT association, argues that artificial intelligence makes companies' dependency on the major LLM providers visible, exposing per-token costs, technical lock-in and the difficulty of going back. He explains that organisations are adopting AI amid a collective rush, without always assessing the real need, which consumes energy and resources for little useful value. He points to the conflicting pressure on CIOs, caught between speed of deployment and the need for control, and regrets a decline in awareness of responsible digital practices in favour of tech-enthusiast narratives around AI. He calls on companies to support digital sobriety initiatives and to get involved in associations such as Green IT.
