UN report: AI to double data center power and water use by 2030

By PulseAugur Editorial · [7 sources] ·

A United Nations report indicates that artificial intelligence could double data center power and water consumption by 2030. Researchers highlight that AI is not just software but also physical infrastructure, requiring significant energy and resources. The report estimates that data centers might consume 3% of the world's electricity and necessitate over 9.3 trillion liters of water annually by 2030, a quantity equivalent to the global population's drinking water needs.
