Researchers proposed generalized green and red AI concepts. They extended the taxonomy to big data and ICT. The framework covers environmental, economic, social, and technical dimensions. It uses electricity, carbon, water, and e-waste as footprint indicators. The paper analyzes risk propagation across AI, big data, and ICT stacks. It also examines service-versus-use boundary impacts. Countermeasures are organized into a four-tier taxonomy. The framework aims to enable sustainability-by-design without sacrificing utility.
