With the development of artificial intelligence technologies, the world is facing a new environmental issue – the energy consumption of neural networks. Neural networks require significant computational power, which means they consume vast amounts of electricity and water for cooling servers in data centers. This resource utilization negatively impacts the environment, increasing the carbon footprint of technologies. This article explores the consequences of artificial intelligence on the ecology and examines the investment risks it poses. It is crucial to understand the scale of the problem and ways to minimize harm, which can be part of the ESG strategies of many companies.
