AI's Water Problem Is Worse Than You Think (But It Doesn't Have To Be) There’s little doubt that AI is quickly becoming a powerful if not essential tool in our society. It’s being used to help boost efficiencies and productivity in myriad ways –– including for the research portion of this article. However, this productivity doesn’t come for free. One of the biggest costs associated with AI is its demand for water.
