This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of AI technologies on the climate crisis beyond their mere resource consumption. To critically examine this impact, I introduce the concept of AI...

AI can assist early warning systems that predict impacts of extreme weather events such as droughts and heavy rainfall.

Concerns are rising regarding the environmental consequences of expanding artificial intelligence (AI) use, particularly due to the increased demand on energy-intensive data centers. These concerns include greenhouse gas emissions, strain on power grids, and depletion of freshwater resources. Mitigating these impacts presents significant challenges that require multifaceted solutions. Hardware design choices offer a pathway to

Texas is anticipated to lead the nation in the construction of natural gas power plants designed to supply electricity for artificial intelligence data centers, according to a new environmental assessment. The Environmental Integrity Project’s report identifies 32 proposed gas-fired power plants within Texas—the largest concentration in any state—amid the rapid expansion of technology companies seeking

Researchers found some LLMs create four times the amount of CO2 emissions than other models with comparable accuracy. Their findings allow users to make informe
