AI releases carbon equivalent to the entire city of "New York City." 🏙️💨

AI emits carbon, the equivalent of "New York City," the whole city. 🏙️💨

Do you know? Behind the AI intelligence we use every day is leaving a huge invisible environmental footprint on our planet! 🌍

Recent research estimates that this year's AI system emits as much carbon dioxide as the emissions of a large city like New York.

💻 Why does AI use so much energy?

Training: AI big models require thousands of high-performance servers, running for weeks or months, consuming huge fires, and electricity often comes from fossil-fueled power plants.

Everyday Usage: Whether it's search systems, content introductions, image jetting or voice commands, every time we press AI is constantly increasing carbon emissions.

Cooling Systems: Server hard work is even hotter. Just the energy used to cool the Data Center can double the overall energy consumption! ❄️🔥

🌱 Challenges to be addressed

Experts warn that if global AI trends continue to grow by leaps and bounds, greenhouse gas emissions will soar as well. The only solution is that tech companies must accelerate their transition to renewable energy, develop energy-efficient chips, and use water-efficient cooling systems.

This is the reality that makes us look at this: AI is not just a technological revolution, but inevitably comes with "climate responsibility," because innovation that lacks sustainability is at the expense of the cost that our planet has to pay. 🌎💚

Sources: Research published in the journal Patterns in late 2025 has estimated that AI systems have carbon dioxide emissions of around 32.6 - 79.7 million tons per year. This level of numbers is equivalent to or may be higher than the carbon emissions of the entire city of New York City (emitting around 50 million tons per year).
