Understanding the Climate Costs of AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries and daily life. However, it comes with significant environmental costs. Many people overlook the energy consumption associated with AI technologies. The demand for processing power has skyrocketed, leading to increased carbon footprints. As we embrace innovation, we must also consider its impact on our planet.

The conversation around AI must include the sustainability aspect. We need to ask ourselves: Are we moving towards a Code Green future, or is it more of a Code Red situation? Awareness and action are crucial. The choices we make today will shape the future of our environment.
