Emotive Architectures: The Role of LLMs in Adjusting Work Environments

In remote and hybrid work contexts, the integration of physical and digital environments is revolutionizing spatial experiences, collaboration, and interpersonal interactions. This study examines three fundamental spatial conditions: the physical environment, characterized by material and sensory attributes; the virtual environment, influenced by immersive technologies; and their fusion into hybrid environments where digital and physical components interact dynamically. The increasing number of AI tools in contemporary society, extensively utilized in both professional and personal spheres, has led to a varied landscape of developing technologies. For instance, ChatGPT has emerged as one of the most downloaded applications, a statistically substantiated fact that demonstrates the swift incorporation of language-based AI into daily life. It also underscores the function of large language models (LLMs) as meaningful bridges between concepts at reading emotional and behavioral signals via natural language. These models provide real-time modifications such as altering illumination, acoustics, or interface configurations, converting static settings into dynamic, emotionally receptive environments. We investigate the integration of language models into professional settings and their potential to enhance user experience by promoting focus, well-being, and engagement. The study investigates ethical concerns, including privacy, emotional tracking, and user agency, emphasizing the importance of inclusive and transparent design. This research formulates a framework for creating co-adaptive environments that merge technological innovation with human-centered experiences, offering a fresh viewpoint on responsive and supportive hybrid workspaces.

Carbon Footprint Evaluation of Code Generation through LLM as a Service

Due to increased computing use, data centers consume and emit a lot of energy and carbon. These contributions are expected to rise as big data analytics, digitization, and large AI models grow and become major components of daily working routines. To reduce the environmental impact of software development, green (sustainable) coding and claims that AI models can improve energy efficiency have grown in popularity. Furthermore, in the automotive industry, where software increasingly governs vehicle performance, safety, and user experience, the principles of green coding and AI-driven efficiency could significantly contribute to reducing the sector's environmental footprint. We present an overview of green coding and metrics to measure AI model sustainability awareness. This study introduces LLM as a service and uses a generative commercial AI language model, GitHub Copilot, to auto-generate code. Using sustainability metrics to quantify these AI models' sustainability awareness, we define the code's embodied and operational carbon.

Learn to Code Sustainably: An Empirical Study on LLM-based Green Code Generation

The increasing use of information technology has led to a significant share of energy consumption and carbon emissions from data centers. These contributions are expected to rise with the growing demand for big data analytics, increasing digitization, and the development of large artificial intelligence (AI) models. The need to address the environmental impact of software development has led to increased interest in green (sustainable) coding and claims that the use of AI models can lead to energy efficiency gains. Here, we provide an empirical study on green code and an overview of green coding practices, as well as metrics used to quantify the sustainability awareness of AI models. In this framework, we evaluate the sustainability of auto-generated code. The auto-generate codes considered in this study are produced by generative commercial AI language models, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI ChatGPT-3, and Amazon CodeWhisperer. Within our methodology, in order to quantify the sustainability awareness of these AI models, we propose a definition of the code's "green capacity", based on certain sustainability metrics. We compare the performance and green capacity of human-generated code and code generated by the three AI language models in response to easy-to-hard problem statements. Our findings shed light on the current capacity of AI models to contribute to sustainable software development.
