Orgs request procedures to alleviate the environmental harm of Amnesty International

A group of more than 100 organizations have I published an open message Inviting the industrial intelligence industry and organizers to alleviate the harmful environmental effects of technology a few days before the leadership of the executives in the industry, heads of state, academics and non -profit organizations on Paris for a Amnesty International Conference.

The message, which bears the signatures of the prominent invitation groups, including Amnesty International and the Institute of Artificial Intelligence now, indicates that there are “increasing evidence” on artificial intelligence systems that lead emissions, “lock” dependence on non -renewal, and stressful critical resources. However, little is done to address these negative external factors because the technology and governments sector justifies more investments in artificial intelligence, according to the message.

“Artificial intelligence” cannot be a “climate solution” if it works on fossil fuel, “says the message. “We, the signatories, ask that artificial intelligence systems be compatible with our planetary borders.”

Signers place clear demands, calling for-from other things-Amnesty International’s infrastructure, including data centers, to be free of fossil fuel. The rush to build the infrastructure to develop and operate artificial intelligence has electrical networks to the point of collapse, forcing some facilities to rely on Coal and Other environmentally unfriendly Sources of power, notice the message.

“Electricity consumption in the global data center can double to more than 1000 Terawatts by 2026 – which is equivalent to the use of annual electricity in Japan,” as it reads the message, Quoted from data from the International Energy Agency. “In parts of the world, this increasing demand leads to the pushing of the power infrastructure to its borders, which prolongs and intensifies our dependence on fossil fuels, and the pollution that is related to public health issues.”

The message also urges governments and technology companies to ensure that new databases are not exhausted from water and land resources, and to maintain transparency on the environmental effects of Amnesty International during the “entire AI’s life cycle”.

Most databases, which can extend millions of square feet, require a lot of water not only to cool the chips inside, but also to maintain the levels of safe moisture of computing equipment. According to one estimateIf one in every 10 American population requests Chatbot Chatgpt on behalf of the intelligence or Openai to write an email per week, it cost more than 435 million liters of water.

The two sites on the letter emphasize that its demands “represent the naked minimum” necessary to alleviate the continuous damage of the unwanted artificial intelligence.

“Countries and societies most vulnerable to rapid climate change are first affected by the damage of artificial intelligence and their computational demands, and they are the least they say in its development.” ))

Unfortunately for the United States, the United States, where most artificial intelligence companies are based on the fact that it intends to adopt growth at any cost.

President Donald Trump He said It will use an emergency advertisement for energy to quickly agree to the new power plants for artificial intelligence databases, including those that use coal for backup power. Trump also has A promise of fast -track environmental approvals And other permits for any company that invests one billion dollars or more locally.
