AI's Shocking Carbon Footprint: Data Centers to Emit 44 Million Tons by 2030!

Описание: AI environmental impact, data centers emissions, fossil fuel by 2030
Discover how artificial intelligence is set to skyrocket fossil fuel emissions from data centers. A new Cornell University study reveals that by 2030, AI growth in the U.S. could add 24 to 44 million metric tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Plus, AI might consume water equivalent to 6-10 million Americans annually, putting tech giants' climate goals at risk.
Key findings include the crucial role of data center locations. Building in clean energy grids with efficient cooling in low-water stress areas like the Midwest and windbelt states can mitigate impacts. Tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Meta have pledged net zero emissions, but AI threatens these targets.
Explore the science behind AI's water and carbon footprint, and learn why data center placement matters for a sustainable future.
