Recently been doing alot of research and analysis on the topic of energy consumption when it comes to AI. I made the infographic below on Canva, and I thought it might be cool to share it with everyone! #AI #energy #consumption #Sustainability

For the problem of AI using an excess amount of energy, Microsoft plans to combat it by creating nuclear plants to fuel future energy demands!

@EM203Anson Great insights Anson!

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@OtayMark Would you say that in the long term AI's energy consumption will become more efficient, and so we should not demonize the technology right now given it is still in its infant stage?

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@DanielleLangWa how can we as ordinary people help to combat this trend? Do you think awareness is the core thing?

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@sturgishigh But do you think there's the opportunity for the positive utility of these AIs to justify the energy consumption that they require?

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@emollick so you dont think its as crazy as people are saying?

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@Climate_Bros What do yall think we can actually do to use AI sustainably then? I feel like not using AI at all isn't a realistic answer, so how can we as everyday people do?

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

What should we do then? I feel like we cant avoid the integration of AI in our lives given we are entering the era of tech, so what is a sustainable way to actually use it/implement it?

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

Not only that, but, the computers require so much computing power, which generates so much heat, they use a LOT of water to keep them from overheating. Training ONE AI program for three weeks can require over 250,000 gallons. It's harmful RIGHT NOW, let alone long-term.

@kayla_wolfe realistically we can't just stop using AI, so what would be the best way to prevent negative consequences given its large energy requirements?

[Anson @EM203Anson]

The explosive growth of AI is powering innovation but at what cost? The unsustainable energy and water consumption of AI data centers is a growing environmental concern, with global energy consumption from data centers projected to double by 2030. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

✨ "We had a blank space" and wrote her name... on street signs! ✨

We’re getting ready to welcome @TaylorSwift13 to Toronto & today we unveiled Taylor Swift Way to show how excited we are for her visit.  

Are you ready for it, Swifties? We are!🌈

So far, I've enjoyed exploring digital tools and rethinking how I process information. I am also loving the engagement of students interacting with each other on X! #EM203Robin

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@ChloeEm203 Agreed! I think social media has a bad reputation due to its potential for evil, but it can similarly be used as a vehicle for good as well. It is easy to forget that :)

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@EM203Anson I think it fosters a sense of community. The idea of viewing different perspectives, especially those from different uni majors, does really get the mind thinking

[Alain.l812 @AlainL812]

@EM203AnishaM Agreed! Has been exciting so far
