AI tools consume up to 4 times more water than estimated
This discovery raises concerns about the sustainability of data centers as AI continues to expand.
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside found that processing 10 to 50 queries on AI chatbots can consume up to 2 liters of water, far exceeding the earlier estimate of half a liter. The increase is attributed to the intense cooling needs of data centers, where the servers generate significant heat.
