This claim is overly optimistic. While specialized applications could contribute to a climate transition, the models attracting major investment&#8212;generalized, power-hungry Large Language Models&#8212;consume vast resources without providing any climate benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide wp-block-paragraph\">The current lack of transparency surrounding AI hampers the ability to spot potential issues, as most companies do not share the figures required to detect an impending crisis. Without comprehensive reporting by datacenter operators and AI enterprises, monitoring the problem and identifying early warning signs becomes an impossible task.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-text-align-justify-desktop has-text-align-justify-tablet has-text-align-justify-mobile wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"\">Through the lifetime of an AI-Service the overwhelming majority of energy consumption stems from inference, not training. Inference is the process of using a trained AI model to make predictions on new data. In contrast to the training process, which is offset over the lifetime, inference related electricity consumption occurs each time end-users interact with the service. Therefore, as adoption of AI services increases, the carbon footprint scales manifold, driven by a rising user base and the exponential growth of model sizes, as predicted by AI scaling laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide wp-block-paragraph\">The rapid expansion of the AI industry and the subsequent scramble for computing power hampers the goal of climate neutrality at best and amplifies the use of dirty energy at worst. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/energy-and-ai\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/energy-and-ai\">International Energy Agency<\/a> projects that carbon intensive energy sources, required to meet additional electricity demand of AI services, could contribute over 40% of power (2030). While this share would see a relative decline by 15% (in <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53328\/INR26RMA002\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53328\/INR26RMA002\">comparison to 2026<\/a>) the total dirty energy contribution could increase twofold. Consequently more coal and natural gas power plants will be built, accelerating the climate crisis even further rather than containing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide wp-block-paragraph\">The AI industry remains unconcerned about their impact on the environment. Cases like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/mar\/10\/elon-musk-xai-data-centers\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/mar\/10\/elon-musk-xai-data-centers\">xAI Datacenter<\/a> imply that if not for regulatory intervention, a significant part of the additional electricity could stem from carbon intensive sources. This indifference necessitates mandatory transparency and carbon neutrality standards in order to enforce climate goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\" id=\"ais-water-thirst\">AI&#8217;s water Thirst<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">Energy hungry datacenters need to be cooled. The cooling systems required for increasingly energy intensive AI-systems pose major risks for increasingly scarce freshwater resources. The most popular solution &#8216;evaporative cooling&#8217; is marketed as being less energy demanding. While effective at dissipating heat, large amounts of water are squandered and permanently removed from the water cycle. This method is encouraged by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/enefg\/__11.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/enefg\/__11.html\">active legislation (Germany)<\/a>.

Especially in a world already in the midst of water-bankruptcy. Current legislation is centered around energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is important. However, without simultaneous regulations on water usage, water consumption accelerates in effort to save energy on cooling. This gap must be closed.
