The rapid growth of AI presents us with a profound challenge as well as an extraordinary opportunity—and an urgent need—to ensure that sustainability is at the forefront of its development and application. In fact, training a single advanced AI model can generate carbon emissions comparable to the lifetime emissions of a car.

Pre-training on diverse datasets has proven to enable data-efficient fine-tuning for individual downstream tasks in natural language processing (NLP) and vision problems. So, we ask the question: Can we enable similar pre-training to accelerate RL methods and create a general-purpose “backbone” for efficient RL across various tasks?
