💦Water Usage in AI Data Centers

Let’s talk about water usage in these massive AI data centers. In a recent webinar, I get into how these hyperscalers consume enormous amounts of water—not just for cooling the servers directly, but also through the power plants that keep them running. We’re talking billions of liters of potable water each year—enough to match places like Sydney Harbour—often in regions that are already water-stressed.

If you’re interested in how we can tackle AI’s impact more sustainably, definitely check out the "Empowerment with Ethical, Local, and Private AI" webinar.
