Will AI help or harm the climate? Evidence points both ways

Original: Will AI be good or bad for the climate? Here’s what the latest evidence on energy use suggests

Analysts are weighing whether artificial intelligence will ultimately be good or bad for the climate, drawing on the latest evidence about energy use. Data centres powering AI consume significant electricity, raising emissions concerns, but the technology could also improve energy efficiency and support climate modelling. Experts say the net effect depends on how quickly clean power can keep pace with growing AI demand.

Why now: Rapid growth in AI and data centre energy consumption is driving debate over its climate impact.
