Artificial intelligence, a drink without thirst
The question of energy and water consumption of artificial intelligence (AI) is as thorny as it is frightening. Thorny because OpenAI, the company creating ChatGPT, obviously remains silent on the subject of the carbon footprint of the servers necessary for operating its ChatGPT. Scary because a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) published terrible estimates. According to MIT, “ ChatGPT training required 1,287 megawatt hours of electricity, emitting 552 tonnes of CO2 equivalent – or more than 205 Paris-New York flights ».
Le Canard chainé cites another study establishing that “ 700,000 liters of fresh water were used for training [de ChatGPT, NDLR] and that, from now on, each conversation with the robot requires 500 milliliters of water ».
In short, it’s the equivalent of a nuclear power plant cooling tower or enough to produce 370 BMWs that was needed to test the thing, and it’s half a bottle of water that had to be thrown away to each request from artificial intelligence. And we’re only talking regarding ChatGPT here.
