Miguel Afonso Caetano"Generative artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize entire industries. In the nearer term, it may dramatically increase productivity and transform daily tasks in many sectors. However, both its benefits and risks, including its environmental and human effects, are unknown or unclear.Generative AI uses significant energy and water resources, but companies are generally not reporting details of these uses. Most estimates of environmental effects of generative AI technologies have focused on quantifying the energy consumed, and carbon emissions associated with generating that energy, required to train the generative AI model. Estimates of water consumption by generative AI are limited. Generative AI is expected to be a driving force for data center demand, but what portion of data center electricity consumption is related to generative AI is unclear. According to the International Energy Agency, U.S. data center electricity consumption was approximately 4 percent of U.S. electricity demand in 2022 and could be 6 percent of demand in 2026.While generative AI may bring beneficial effects for people, GAO highlights five risks and challenges that could result in negative human effects on society, culture, and people from generative AI (see figure). For example, unsafe systems may produce outputs that compromise safety, such as inaccurate information, undesirable content, or the enabling of malicious behavior. However, definitive statements about these risks and challenges are difficult to make because generative AI is rapidly evolving, and private developers do not disclose some key technical information."<a href="https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-25-107172?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-25-107172?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Energy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Water</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Environment</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataCenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataCenters</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a>

JohannesApparently, Intel-CPUs are no longer a factor for certain applications. Instead, Apple chips are increasingly being adopted, even in datacenters. I think it's just a matter of time until Apple starts producing server hardware again. It would also make sense for Apple to finally offer official support for Linux Kernel development on their hardware.<a href="https://social.kontrollapparat.de/tags/Intel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intel</a> <a href="https://social.kontrollapparat.de/tags/Amd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amd</a> <a href="https://social.kontrollapparat.de/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://social.kontrollapparat.de/tags/datacenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#datacenters</a> <a href="https://social.kontrollapparat.de/tags/CPU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPU</a> <a href="https://social.kontrollapparat.de/tags/HWIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HWIDI</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"The final 47 page document amounts to a meta-analysis of existing data.One immediate obstacle to the investigators was AI companies’ lack of transparency around their water usage. “Generative AI uses significant energy and water resources, but companies are generally not reporting details of these uses,” the GAO said. Things also vary greatly depending on where in the U.S. an AI model is trained. It doesn’t cost the same amount to cool a datacenter in Texas as it does in Oregon.But what the GAO could figure out was startling.“It is not unusual to see new data centers being built with energy needs of 100 to 1000 megawatts, roughly equivalent to powering 80,000 to 800,000 households,” the GAO said. It added that 40 percent of that cost is just cooling the data center, a cost that’s expected to increase as the planet heats up.Geography mattered a lot. “If a model is trained in the northwestern U.S. where 44 percent of electricity generation comes from hydropower, the carbon emissions are lower than if the model is trained in the Midwest, where 38 percent of the electricity is generated from coal,” the report said.""<a href="https://www.404media.co/even-the-u-s-government-says-ai-requires-massive-amounts-of-water/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.404media.co/even-the-u-s-government-says-ai-requires-massive-amounts-of-water/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataCenters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DataCenters</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GAO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GAO</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Energy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Water</a>

Flipboard Tech DeskGoogle says the mega capital splurge on datacenters in recent years is putting more strain on its balance sheet due to rising depreciation costs, yet it still plans to splash $75 billion on bit barns in 2025.
