What is the environmental impact of the CAIJ Companion?

Last updated: 18 February 2026

The CAIJ recognizes that tools based on artificial intelligence rely on digital infrastructures that may result in energy consumption. This reality is part of the current challenges associated with the development and responsible use of technology.

The CAIJ Compagnon was designed using a measured approach, aimed at optimizing queries and limiting unnecessary uses.

By facilitating rapid access to relevant legal information, the CAIJ Compagnon can help reduce certain indirect impacts, including the multiplication of searches, the printing of paper documents and, in some cases, travel.

The CAIJ remains attentive to the environmental, ethical and social issues related to the use of artificial intelligence. The evolution of the CAIJ Compagnon is part of an ongoing reflection process to ensure responsible use, aligned with CAIJ values and the expectations of its members.
