Digital Green Score: AI-Driven Environmental Impact Assessment for Digital Content Usage

Smart overview of the Invention

The Digital Green Score (DGS) system is designed to assess the environmental impact of digital content usage and resource consumption, both at individual and organizational levels. It aims to set a global standard for digital sustainability by aggregating scores from all applications and systems managed by individuals, which are then compiled into an organization-wide score. This framework promotes eco-friendly practices within digital ecosystems, utilizing AI for analysis and blockchain for transparency.

Technical Field

This invention lies in the realm of environmental sustainability within digital ecosystems. It specifically focuses on calculating a Digital Green Score (DGS) using artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies. The DGS quantifies the environmental footprint of digital activities, addressing the challenges posed by energy consumption, inefficient storage, and resource allocation in the rapidly growing digital content sector.

Key Features

• AI-Powered Analysis: AI models evaluate digital activities like email management and cloud optimization to assign individual DGS scores.
• Blockchain-Based Transparency: A decentralized ledger records DGS scores, ensuring auditability and compliance with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.
• Decentralized & Automated Enforcement: Smart contracts enforce sustainability policies, rewarding responsible behavior and minimizing resource wastage.
• Scalable Application: The system operates at both individual and organizational levels to manage digital resources effectively across enterprises.

Implementation Details

The system includes several components: data collection agents track digital activities, an AI engine computes DGS scores, a blockchain layer stores calculations immutably, a user dashboard displays scores and recommendations, and a regulatory interface facilitates sharing verified sustainability reports. Factors influencing individual DGS include email management efficiency, cloud resource optimization, device management practices, and collaboration tool usage.

Organizational Impact

The aggregated organizational DGS reflects all individual scores within an entity. It ensures optimal digital practices across teams and departments while automatically generating ESG compliance reports. The scoring model considers cloud resource optimization, employee digital habits, and adherence to sustainability goals. Blockchain technology secures the credibility of DGS scores through immutable records, enabling third-party audits and automated compliance via smart contracts.
