About Us

Generative AI is so hot right now, and it is probably going to be hot for a while.

We created this calculator to support researchers in Human-Computer Interaction research and adjacent areas to obtain a reasonable estimate of the carbon footprint of their generative AI use. All views are the authors' own, and do not represent our universities, groups, or supporting foundations.
