Generative AI and Machine Learning are increasingly being used to better manage water resources, with current applications in detecting leaks and reducing river pollution. However, Microsoft’s AI push saw the company’s global water usage increase 34% year on year in 2022, with Google seeing an increase of 20% in the same period.
With water scarcity becoming a significant environmental and social concern, and experts proposing that the water crisis be treated with the same urgency as climate change, there is frequent opposition to the development of new data centers on environmental grounds. As such, tech companies are currently facing challenges in addressing their water usage, and must be asked difficult questions about whether the ends justify the means.
