AI Ethics: Green Energy and No Sanctions

On February 21, 2026, the details of the global AI declaration were published. The key emphasis, besides safety, is on energy efficiency. Training giant models consumes resources on the level of small nations, and countries agreed to stimulate the creation of "green AI."

However, Daily Sabah journalists highlighted the pact's weak point: it lacks any binding steps or sanctions for violators. This is classic diplomacy — stating good intentions without tying the hands of their national corporations in the global AI race.
