AI power generation uses surprisingly little water.

It also emits carbon

I also use electricity

I analyzed this to see how much it was being used for AI development.

After chat gpt appears in late 2022

Hardware power demand began to increase rapidly.

The predicted electricity demand at the end of 2025 is

It is said that 23 gigawatts are needed 24 hours a day.

This is

30 gigawatts needed all day long

Similar to UK electricity demand

Carbon emissions range from 32 to 79 million tons.

This is

Similar to New York’s entire emissions of 52 million

Water consumption is 310 to 760 billion liters.

Similar to global bottled water consumption of 44 million tons

But these numbers estimated above

Big tech companies are secretly keeping consumption to a minimum.

It is said that if the undisclosed consumption amount is included, it is likely to be several times higher.

in the end

I’m worried that if things continue like this, things will really go wrong.
