Jelaica Mae Jumadas's post on Goodwall - The relationship between AI and the environment is a two-way connection. AI can help protect the environment by monitoring deforestation, tracking pollution, predicting weather and climate patterns, and improving efficiency in farming and energy use to reduce waste. However, AI also affects the environment. Training large AI models requires significant amounts of electricity and water to cool data centers, while manufacturing AI hardware generates electronic waste and depends on metals obtained.
