The rise of AI.
Imagine having a super-cool robot friend who helps you with all sorts of fun stuff! That’s what artificial intelligence (AI) is like. AI is a technology that lets computers think and make decisions, just like people.
We use AI every day! It’s in our phones and laptops and helps us remember things, find new games, suggest shows, and answer any questions (Hello ChatGPT!). It’s like having a tiny helper to help us out!
AI is changing how we do things and might even create new, amazing things in the future. But we should also consider how AI affects our world.
The environmental impact of AI.
Companies train AIs to make them work better. However, training these AI models uses a lot of electricity. This can release lots of carbon dioxide, polluting the air.
These computers also get hot and need cool water to stay safe, just like you need a drink on a hot day. But they need freshwater, which we need for drinking and cooking, and not salty water, or they might break. This can make our water problems worse.
Making the parts for these computers means digging up the ground, which can hurt animals and pollute water.
So, while AI is cool, we should think about how it affects our planet and try to keep it safe.
The need for sustainable AI.
AI is extremely cool and will immensely benefit us in the future, but we do not want it to harm our world. That’s why we need to develop new ways to make AI better for the environment.
Companies are working on ways to train AI faster and use less energy and water, helping to protect our planet while enjoying AI’s cool benefits!
