The carbon and water footprints of data centers and what this could mean for artificial intelligence

Although there are ways to estimate the global power demand of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, it remains challenging to quantify the associated carbon and water footprints. The lack of distinction between AI and non-AI workloads in the environmental reports of data center operators makes it possible to assess the environmental impact of AI workloads only by approximating them through data centers' general performance metrics. The environmental disclosure of tech companies is, however, often insufficient t…
