As Google has rushed to incorporate artificial intelligence into its core products — with sometimes less-than-stellar results — a problem has been brewing behind the scenes: the systems needed to power its AI tools have vastly increased the company's greenhouse gas emissions. AI systems need lots of computers to make them work. The data centers needed to run them, essentially warehouses full of powerful computing equipment, suck up tons of energy to process data and manage the heat all of those computers produce. The end result has been that Google's greenhouse gas emissions have soared 48% since 2019, according to the tech giant's annual environment report. Google blamed that growth mainly on "increased data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions." Read more: https://cnn.it/3XP3GZU
Maybe, thanks to someone's artificial intelligence they didn;t do research and think about the logical next steps. They let someone else come up with the idea. They could have seen an old movie : "2001" where HAL does run the ship.
They should ask AI how to fix the problem.

4dFeeding the AI Beast... the AI machine today and the future sentient AI being...tomorrow hopefully not competing with mankind for the same energy resources....., perhaps leaning towards Nuclear energy could be the solution like Bill Gates' Terrapower nuclear plant in the making and Sam Altman's investment in nuclear energy startup Oklo.
