AI significantly impacts the environment through massive energy consumption, high water usage for cooling data centers, and increased electronic waste (e-waste). Training and running AI models, particularly generative AI, requires vast amounts of electricity, largely sourced from fossil fuels, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
