Air pollution from AI costs $20 billion and 1,300 deaths a year
Increased computational demands, enhanced data volumes, and cooling infrastructures have led to the rapid expansion of energy-intensive data centers. However, AI-powered applications and services are the key contributors to this trend. This increased power requirement for Artificial Intelligence is spurring increased levels of deadly air pollution from generators and power plants. This could impact the

The true cost of climate pollution? 44% of corporate profits.
What if companies had to pay for the problems their carbon emissions cause? Their profits would plunge, according to new estimates, possibly wiping out trillions in financial gains. These results, spelled out in a recent study in the journal Science, are based on analysis of almost 15,000 publicly-traded companies around the world. To calculate how
