Is ChatGPT Killing the Planet?
Have you ever questioned the impact of the AI tools you’re using?
Not whether it’s ethical to use ChatGPT to write your Hinge messages, but rather, the impact that AI is having on the planet.
Training and using AI models requires a lot of energy. And where does that energy come from? You guessed it, dead dinosaurs.
Projections show that by 2030, machine learning could account for 5% of global emissions, comparable to the aviation industry today.
Google's greenhouse emissions soared by 48% in just 5 years due to the use of data centers for artificial intelligence.
Google had previously said that they aimed to reach net zero emissions by 2030, but now admit that this may be difficult as they integrate AI into their products.
Experts say it’s time organizations prioritized oversight, accountability, guardrails, and ethics by hiring sustainability consultants.
And what can you do to help? Maybe just write your hinge messages yourself from now on.
