[Sky tg24 @SkyTG24]

L’intelligenza artificiale non è immateriale: dietro ogni richiesta ci sono data center, energia, raffreddamento e quindi consumo d’acqua. Nel rapporto sull’impatto dell’AI, Kaveh Madani mostra come questa tecnologia possa aggravare una crisi idrica già profonda, senza però essere anti-AI. La vera domanda, oggi, è come far crescere l’AI senza spingere ancora più in là la bancarotta dell’acqua. Si legge su #SkyInsider https://t.co/XdfoJHmTlo

The results of our recent report on the environmental impacts of AI and their implications for Canada’s 🇨🇦 AI strategy.

Our message is clear: investments in AI are necessary, but so are investments in sustainability, justice, and equity.

AI is not only digital. It also has real water, energy, land, and critical mineral footprints that cannot be ignored.

Don’t say “please”, “thank you” and “sorry” when not necessary!

We’re not encouraging you to be rude to AI, but extra words increases the energy use caused by your prompts.
