A new United Nations report warns that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence could put significant pressure on the earth’s resources. By 2030, AI-powered data centers could use enough water to meet the basic annual household needs of 1.3 billion people in sub-Saharan Africa. These facilities also consume large amounts of electricity to power and cool their powerful computers. Researchers say the environmental impact of AI goes beyond carbon emissions, affecting water, land, and local temperatures. The UN is not calling for the end of AI, but it is calling on governments and businesses to make the technology more sustainable through transparency, efficient energy use and better planning. — United Nations | AI | Impact on AI | First Post | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #United Nations #ai #aiimpact #firstpost #NewsLive #WorldNews #LatestNews #GlobalNews #News #InternationalNews #TrendingNews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
