Generative AI is reportedly tripling carbon dioxide emissions from data centers
Research suggest data centers will emit 2.5 billion tons of greenhouse gas by 2030
New research has claimed the rapid development of, and demand for, generative AI has accelerated the rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from data centers. A report from Morgan Stanley suggests the datacenter industry is on track to emit 2.5 billion tons by 2030, which is three times higher than the predictions if generative AI had not come into play. The tech industry already amounts to 40% of the entire annual emissions from the US - so carbon dioxide removal technologies are poised to play a key role in achieving environmental targets.
