A.I.'s Heavy Environmental Footprint Raises Concerns
• A.I. uses staggering amounts of water and energy, threatening water supplies and clean energy transition
• A.I.'s massive computing power demands concrete, rare earth metals, aluminum - harming communities and generating toxic e-waste
• Tech companies evade questioning and hide information about A.I.’s environmental impact
• A.I. is unnecessary and not worth the environmental costs it imposes
• Legislation proposed to investigate A.I.’s environmental footprint, but stronger action needed
