AI is using vast amounts of water
Artificial intelligence is using gallons upon gallons of water. Microsoft alone used more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools of water in its data centres last year. The latest numbers are leading to yet more questions about the sustainability and environmental dangers of the growth of artificial intelligence and related technology. Artificial intelligence requires vast computing resources, undertaking deeply complex calculations on behalf of people around the world. AI systems tend to be run in the cloud rather than on individual people’s computers, meaning that companies running them must operate vast server farms to deal with the queries of their users. Those server farms in turn need to pump in water to cool themselves down, because of the heat generated by those computers. That has long been a concern for environmentalists, but the sharp growth in artificial intelligence has led to even more use. Microsoft’s water consumption rose 34 per cent between 2021 and 2022, according to its latest environmental report, highlighted by the Associated Press. It was up to almost 1.7 billion gallons. Not all of that is from artificial intelligence. But Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside working to better understand the environmental impact of AI told the AP that the “majority of the growth” is because of the technology. Google also said that its water use had increased by 20 per cent over the same period. That varied across its different data centres, which are based in different parts of the US. For each 5 to 50 prompts, or questions, put to ChatGPT, it uses 500 millilitres of water, according to a paper that will be published by Professor Ren and his team later this year. Many technology companies have expressed concerns about their own water use, and how to minimise any negative effects of their data centres. The environmental concerns can be especially pressing because the use of water can be focused in particular areas around a data centre, meaning that the damage may not be spread. Google said last year for instance that “Wherever we use water, we are committed to doing so responsibly”. That includes analysing where water is being used and how much stress it might put on the surrounding area, for instance.

7 things to never do on a plane according to a flight attendant
There are certain unwritten rules when it comes to travelling. Be polite, don’t invade anyone’s space, and keep your shoes on. Amid a global pandemic, perhaps we should add wearing a mask to that list, too. But there are other things you probably should - and shouldn't - do if you’re travelling on a plane, as one former flight attendant revealed. The former flight attendant took to Reddit and answered some of the most important questions about flying. Reddit user adrianne456, whose credentials have been verified by Reddit, wrote: “I've been a flight attendant for a little under two years for a regional airline that serves three of the US' major airlines. “I worked on 80 seater aircrafts with one other flight attendant and two pilots. It's been a great experience, but today - I quit.” indy100 compiled a list of things not to do on a plane based on what adrianne456 revealed… Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter 1. Do not take a seat in first class (unless you have a ticket) "You will get embarrassed." 2. Don’t drink the tea or coffee "I personally would not drink the potable water from the aircraft. So the tea, coffee...I would avoid. The water isn’t so bad but how often do you really think those tanks are cleaned?" 3. Don’t try to join the Mile High Club, they know what you’re trying to do no matter how subtle you think you are "We can pretty much see what everyone is doing on the plane for the most part. I would see two people going in the bathroom easily." 4. Don’t do a poo "Don't take a s*** on the plane. PLEASE. Sometimes I get it, you just have to go but damn, close the door behind you…" 5. In fact, don’t use the bathroom while boarding either You are really getting in the flight attendant's way. 6. Don’t eat directly off the table trays "The overnight crew cleans the aircraft. But I would say [they clean it], very rarely." 7. Don't sit in the back if you're scared of turbulence "Try to get a seat assignment near the front of the aircraft. Turbulence is always going to be worst in the back of the aircraft." Have your say in our news democracy.
