Egypt National Guidelines for Trustworthy and Responsible AI (Edition 2.0, March 2026) 5.2: Protect the environment: right-size solutions, adopt Frugal AI practices, train efficiently, minimise data, assess environmental impact, choose sustainable infrastructure, monitor resource use and justify complexity

What does 5.2 require?

Once AI is to be deployed, government entities and enterprises adopt it with care for the environment and for resources: choosing the simplest model that meets functional needs; prioritising model compression, pruning, quantisation and efficient architectures; training with optimised routines, tuned batches, scheduled training windows and hardware that uses fewer resources; drawing on transfer learning, on synthetic data where it fits and on targeted datasets instead of oversized corpora; requiring every AI proposal to assess energy use, compute requirements and carbon footprint; favouring cloud services, data centres and hardware accredited for energy efficiency or powered by renewables; tracking runtime costs, electricity and compute use through the lifecycle; and selecting higher-complexity models only where the performance gain is justified and no frugal option meets accuracy, safety or fairness needs.
