Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving rapidly and consequently, AI's carbon footprint is also expanding.
A long chat with ChatGPT, for example, requires approximately a half of a liter of water, used primarily to cool the server facilities that AI needs (see Li, Yang, Islam, & Ren, 2023).
And the resulting energy demand? According to a frequently cited projection, AI will soon globally consume up to 134 terawatt hours of electricity per year, comparable to some countries' entire energy consumption (see De Vries, 2023).
Despite the fact that many of us use AI regularly, many are unaware about AI's carbon footprint and its negative impact on the environment. We aim to draw attention to the issue and support a responsible, well-informed approach to AI.
