The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology raises critical questions about its material requirements. As discussions around international governance of AI intensify, the focus on material forecasts for these technologies becomes more urgent. It’s essential to understand the resources that fuel AI development to ensure sustainable progress.
While energy debates dominate the conversation, the material needs of AI often remain in the shadows. Addressing these needs can guide policymakers and technologists in making informed decisions. An effective approach to AI governance must include an understanding of the necessary materials and their environmental impact. This will ultimately shape the future landscape of AI, ensuring its sustainability and efficacy.
