Artificial intelligence and the climate dilemma

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming economics, science, and governance. Yet behind these benefits lies a steadily growing cost: environmental degradation. AI systems demand enormous amounts of energy and water to operate, including the giant computing clusters, data centers, and cooling systems they rely on. This tension is at the heart of the AI paradox: the very technology that can help mitigate climate change may also worsen it. Depending on its design, power source, and governance, AI can either be a solution or a liability for the planet.
