If it does work out, the amount of natural resources that will be required is just mind-boggling.

Even if the energy is renewable (which it isn’t guaranteed to be), the quantity of water and rare earth minerals required is astronomical, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.

In September of 2023, 'Fortune' reported that AI tools were responsible for a 34% spike in Microsoft's water consumption.

Nvidia has yet to publish any information about the environmental footprint of their manufacturing, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.

Luccioni points out that rather than improving over time, transparency regarding the environmental impact of AI has gotten worse.

Now [companies] don’t even say how long it took [to train], how many chips they used, there’s absolutely no information provided anymore, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat
