flag Growing AI use raises hidden climate costs due to energy and water demands of data centers.

flag Everyday use of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly linked to a hidden climate cost. flag AI relies on energy-intensive data centers, often powered by fossil fuels, which contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. flag These centers also consume vast amounts of water for cooling. flag Despite efforts to improve efficiency, the growing demand for AI services may counteract these improvements. flag The exact impact of AI on the climate is hard to measure, but it is significant enough to warrant consideration of its environmental consequences.
