We Need to Talk About AI's Impact on Public Health

Cars That Think

In the United States alone, the demand for AI is projected to push data center electricity consumption to 6.7 micrometers or less in diameter (referred to as PM 2.5 ), which can travel deep into the respiratory tract and lungs. And despite advancements in renewable energy, fossil fuels remain deeply embedded in the energy fuel mix.

of hydrogen is currently produced via water electrolysis and only a fraction of this production is powered by renewable energy. Taking IRENA’s REmap scenario as a reference, renewable hydrogen could deliver 5% of total final energy demand in 2050. According to the IEA, less than 0.1% —Palmer et al.
