Starbucks Using AI To Build Software Replacing Applications It Buys From Microsoft, IBM
Corporate America has been desperate to see a burst of productivity (i.e., cost cutting) emerging from the latest flood of agentic AI euphoria, and it is slowly starting to get it. Not everyone will be pleased.
Starbucks is developing in-house tools with the help of artificial intelligence that could replace some software applications it now buys from companies such as Microsoft and IBM.
According to Bloomberg, the coffee chain, whose stock price has gone nowhere in the past 3 years, is building alternatives to a Microsoft system that tracks inventory and an IBM tool that manages maintenance. Some of the Starbucks-developed software could roll out by the end of next year, pending the results of testing, the report notes.
Before the advent of advanced AI models, businesses were tethered for years to their technology vendors due to fear of business disruption and the complexity of building in-house tools. B...

EU plant elektronisches Energielabel für Rechenzentren – Google zeigt warum (Telepolis)
|
|
|
Die EU-Kommission will Rechenzentren per Verordnung zu Öko-Kennzeichnungen verpflichten. Googles Stromverbrauch stieg 2025 um 37 Prozent auf 43,6 Millionen Megawattstunden für 2025. Das entspricht ungefähr dem Jahresstromverbrauch Griechenlands.. --- Google selbst liefert ein Beispiel für dieses Dilemma. Bilanziell deckt der Konzern seinen Verbrauch seit neun Jahren zu 100 Prozent mit erneuerbaren Energien. Tatsächlich aber stieg der gesamte CO₂-Fußabdruck 2025 auf 14,5 Millionen Tonnen, die Lieferkettenemissionen wuchsen um 25 Prozent. Cleanview-CEO Michael Thomas wies zudem auf ein geplantes 933-Megawatt-Erdgaskraftwerk ohne CO₂-Abscheidung in Texas hin, das Googles dortige Rechenzentren versorgen könnte.. --- Ein schöner "grüner Anstrich"..
