The
Aparté paradox
Par Jyoti Punjabi
Brace yourselves, Artificial Intelligence die-hard fans and users. Because you might not like this one. Our quest for AI might be coming at the cost of something far more valuable: the planet.
IA: pour le meilleur et pour le pire • Amateurs d’ intelligence artificielle, vous risquez de ne pas aimer ce qui suit. La course effrénée vers l’ IA pourrait bien se faire au détriment d’ une chose encore plus précieuse: notre planète.
AI. Hi. Meet humans and their insatiable thirst for more. More power. More efficiency. More convenience. More answers. And faster. But behind every AI-generated response and every automation that exists today, there is another kind of thirst lurking in the background. One that’ s draining the earth. Literally. Because AI isn’ t just consuming and providing data. It is consuming water, energy and leaving behind an important carbon footprint at an alarming rate.
