Aligning AI and Data with Responsible Practice

At Cleartelligence, we help clients align their data and AI strategies with responsible, sustainable, and scalable practices. Through purpose-driven consulting, we’ve partnered with organizations to modernize data platforms, optimize Snowflake and cloud costs, strengthen data governance, and embed ethical principles into AI workflows. This session will share practical examples of how consulting grounded in transparency, accountability, and long-term resilience can deliver both business value and lasting impact—proving that responsible data and AI practices aren’t just aspirational, they’re achievable.

Paving the way to Sustainable and Responsible AI

Join us on our sustainability journey at Rackspace, where we transformed our formative sustainability commitments into actionable steps, resulting in measurable progress towards our CO2 emission reduction goals. We’ll discuss how implementing appropriate governance —embedding sustainability within the organisation from the top down—enabled us to prioritise sustainability initiatives across the organisation.  Additionally, we will explore how these efforts informed our approach to AI, under the FAIR banner, including our Sustainable and Responsible AI Principles, which ensure that AI adoption is symbiotic, secure and sustainable by design for our internal operations and our customers.

Architecture Decision Frameworks for Responsible AI

From Code to Community: Innovating Responsibly in the Age of AI

This session explores how we can architect IT systems that are not only scalable and efficient but also responsible and regenerative. We share our Green Ops Framework, grounded in Responsible Computing, Fin Ops principles, and empathy-based design thinking, to showcase how sustainability can be embedded in every layer of architecture - from automation to user experience. Through real-world wins like eliminating postal items and reducing legacy systems emissions - we'll show how thoughtful innovation can lead to measure environmental and social impact. At the heart of this journey is a growing community of practitioners who believe that the future of IT must be built collaboratively, one line of code and one act of empathy - at a time.

Implementing Sustainable IT at scale

Strategy & Governance (Working Group Sessions)

Focused on developing executive frameworks and policies that embed sustainability and compliance into IT strategy and decision-making. Goals are centered around building out sustainable technology strategies that align to business and corporate initiatives.

Solution Architecture (Working Group Sessions)

Defining sustainable and responsible AI solution design patterns, digital infrastructure principles, and reference models that support responsible technology adoption.

Metrics & GreenOps (Working Group Sessions)

Focused on real-time telemetry, analytics, and optimization techniques to improve IT efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Infrastructure (Working Group Sessions)

Defining architectural standards that incorporate energy efficiency, carbon footprint reduction. Focus on the optimization of Infrastructure for and with Technology – Prioritizing energy-efficient cloud solutions and reducing sustainable debt. We will also dive into topics like circularity and how this could be beneficial for infrastructure.

Data and Responsible AI (Working Group Sessions)

Defining responsible and sustainable data management and AI including digital litter, data retention, data replications/resiliency, access control and data integrity. Artifacts focused on developing methods for recommending appropriate use of AI and capture results in governance boards.

Risk, Compliance and Security (Working Group Sessions)

Align compliance frameworks with ESG outcomes by incorporating environmental metrics into governance and assurance models. Promoting data minimization and secure-by-design practices, reducing unnecessary data flows and storage to lower both risk and emissions. Initiatives focused on standardizing low-carbon security design and developing reusable controls that are both effective and efficient.
