AI technology is advancing rapidly, but with this progress comes concerns about its environmental impact. Companies such as Google and Microsoft do not disclose the energy consumption of their AI programs, leading to a call for transparency and government regulation to align with climate policies. In 2020, OpenAI presented an algorithm capable of learning that required over 1,000 computers and a dozen machines running specialized graphics chips to crunch complex calculations over months, consuming approximately 2.8 gigawatt-hours of electricity. AI requires huge amounts of computing power and electricity to create and solve algorithms, and the running of AI can have a significant environmental impact.
