AI: ChatGPT consumes more energy than a traditional Internet search
Artificial intelligences (AI) have revolutionised how we create, communicate, and learn. However, it's time to address their ecological footprint. In this video, we'll delve into a critical aspect of AI usage: their consumption of energy and water. 💧 Data centres, where these AIs are trained, require staggering amounts of water to cool their servers. Discover how a simple conversation with ChatGPT can consume the equivalent of a small plastic water bottle. With billions of users, this has a significant impact on our water resources. 💨 Moreover, the CO2 emissions associated with these data centres vary depending on the energy source. We'll explain how a simple change in the training location can reduce CO2 emissions by 75%. And what about the idea of "following the sun" to use solar energy continuously? 📊 Speaking of numbers, you'll be astonished to learn how much CO2 emissions are generated during the training of these AIs. Compare, for example, Bloom and GPT-3 to see how significant the difference can be. 🌞 But all hope is not lost. AIs can also play a vital role in combating climate change, helping meteorologists predict extreme weather events or optimising industrial production to reduce CO2 emissions. Join us for an in-depth discussion on the environmental impact of AIs and discover how you can make informed decisions about their use. Before bombarding ChatGPT with all your questions, maybe a quick browser search is a more eco-friendly option. 🤔🌿 Subscribe and hit the notification bell (🔔) to stay updated on our AI 101 series! 📚✨ 🎥 Watch the series episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSyY1udCyYqC7beifGnUN2M0LcPXfPAmF 🔗 Read the article: https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/11/01/ai-chatgpt-consumes-more-energy-than-a-traditional-internet-search To learn more about AI: https://www.euronews.com/tag/artificial-intelligence #AI #Environment #Sustainability" Subscribe to our NoComment channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/nocommenttv?sub_confirmation=1 Follow us on all platforms and on all devices: https://www.euronews.com/follow-us Euronews is available on YouTube in 12 languages: https://www.youtube.com/user/euronewsnetwork/channels Download our new app to receive all the latest updates from Europe’s newsroom: https://apps.eur.ws/8HQ4
