"The computing power required to build generative AI demands quantities of energy and water on a scale that can cause severe and long-term damage to the environment. This makes the development of generative AI a human rights issue."
"If AI development continues on its current trajectory, it will compound the environmental harm we are already doing to our planet, long before it gets the chance to show us whether it can live up to its much-hyped potential."
