In the age of sustainability issues, digitisation has been considered as a key leverage, seen as a way to avoid material resource usage. The digital world is far from being virtual: its annual attribution to the global GHG emissions was estimated at around 4% in 2019, and subject to grow by 50% in 2025. And the environmental impacts throughout the lifecycle raise concerns beyond climate change. Digital Transformations (DT) are expected to integrate sustainability into the decision-making process and the roadmap. The example of Generative AI technologies, as a trigger for a new wave of DTs, illustrates the process, limits, and further considerations to take into account ecological, as well as social, implications.
