By the end of the year, the carbon footprint of global AI systems for the whole of 2025 could equal that of New York City, says TechXplore.
At the same time, AI’s thirst for water could rival that of the world’s bottled water market, according to new estimates.
AI is everywhere and expanding at what seems like an exponential rate. The more we use it, the more data centers are needed to run the complex calculations that power AI.
These facilities are not only huge guzzlers of electricity, but also of water, which is needed to cool servers and to generate electricity in power plants.
But exactly how much electricity and water they use is something of a mystery because accurate data is hard to come by. [Talkshop comment – ironic for *data* centres].
. . .
More data centers are going to be built to meet our ever-growing demand for AI, but without an accurate picture of the data, governments and regulators will remain in the dark about its true environmental cost.
