persadasatu.com-Using an AI is quite massive right now, but have you ever wondered what it costs when we are using an AI?

The research has been conducted, the fact that every time we use an AI it consumed fresh water to cooled the data center, not any type of water can be used, the company only use fresh water to prevent corrosion and bacteria growth.

For every chat that we did with ChatGPT it consumed at least a big bottle of fresh water, the research also reveal that model training of GPT-3 consumed around 185,000 galloons or around (700,000) of water. the problem now bigger because water covers 71% of Earth’s surface but only 0,5% category of fresh water, this is increasing water scarcity and water stress.

The demand of using AI technology now can be threated in some area that have a water stress, it is can turn into needs of human population and biodiversity of local areas. To conclude, the water that used in that area can not be use because unsafe and increasing demand of fresh water is high, because around data center are protected area or a key biodiversity which nature and human rely on clean water supplies.
