Does AI Use Water? Understanding the Hidden Footprint of Data Centers

Описание: Have you ever wondered about the physical cost of your favorite AI tools? Every time you ask ChatGPT a question or generate an image, you’re using more than just electricity—you’re consuming freshwater.

In this video, we dive into the staggering data behind AI’s environmental impact:

The Half-Liter Rule: How just 20-50 AI prompts can "drink" a standard bottle of water.

Industrial Scale: Why training a model like GPT-3 requires 700,000 liters before it even launches.

The Big Tech Impact: A look at how Google’s water use jumped 17% in a single year, hitting 6.1 billion gallons.

Withdrawn vs. Consumed: Why evaporated water from cooling systems is a major threat to drought-prone regions.

Future Projections: Why AI water use is expected to more than double by 2030.

As AI becomes more powerful, we must ask: How will we manage its growing thirst?
