The estimates of AI water consumption were presented by researchers from the Universities of Colorado Riverside and Texas Arlington in a pre-print article titled “Making AI Less ‘Thirsty.Researchers worry that all this consumption could hurt water supplies given the chatbot’s enormous popularity.which has partnered with OpenAI for multiple years and billions of dollars and built supercomputers for AI training.

Water footprint must be addressed as a priority as part of the collective efforts to combat global water challenges.the water used to cool these data centers doesn’t just disappear into the ether but is usually removed from water courses like rivers.

The enormous volume of water required to train the AI model also presupposes that the training occurs at Microsoft’s cutting-edge US data center.

The researchers distinguish between water “withdrawal” and “consumption” when estimating AI’s water usage.The solution? Ralf Winkelmann.
