OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the "wildly

the ability to power advanced AI models.

However, opponents of the proposed
project have expressed concerns over
the environmental impact of Altman's plan. .
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. .

Another study from 2023 revealed
that OpenAI's training for GPT-3
consumed 700,000 liters of water.

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.
If you look at the PaLM 1 paper
from Google, which was in 2022,
and then Palm 2 [released in May
2023], the amount of information
they provided drastically dropped, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher
at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.
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
