Abstract

This article explores the issue of whether tiny machine learning (TinyML) on microcontroller devices is sustainable by examining the entire life cycle of both its applications and hardware. Topics include how TinyML could contribute to achieve several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a life cycle analysis of the environmental impact of TinyML on microcontroller devices, and recommendations for future research.
