🤖 AI may be smarter every day, but behind the scenes, it takes a huge amount of electricity, water and space.

On June 23, 2026, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres proposes the "AI Environmental Transparency Initiative," calling on major AI companies to transparently disclose the environmental impacts of their systems - carbon footprint, water use and space.

According to 🌍 the UN, AI-compatible data centers are expanding so rapidly that many communities do not know how much resources they use locally.

⚡ By 2030, data centers could consume so much electricity that they are comparable to the world's top high-energy countries, while the demand for water to cool systems is also increasing.

The UN also urges companies to apply renewable energy to all data centres by 2030, but the proposal is also a "call," not a mandatory global law.

The question is, should AI companies be legally forced to disclose environmental costs? Because AI intelligence may not be as free as we see on screen.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ติดตามข่าวสารเกี่ยวกับเทคโนโลยี AI มานาน ผมเริ่มตระหนักว่าเบื้องหลังความอัจฉริยะของ AI นั้น มีต้นทุนทรัพยากรธรรมชาติที่สูงมาก ซึ่งหลายคนอาจไม่ทราบ เช่น การใช้ไฟฟ้าและน้ำจำนวนมหาศาลเพื่อให้ดาต้าเซ็นเตอร์ทำงานอย่างต่อเนื่องและมีประสิทธิภาพ ในช่วงไม่กี่ปีที่ผ่านมา ดาต้าเซ็นเตอร์เพื่อรองรับ AI เติบโตอย่างรวดเร็ว เนื่องจากความต้องการประมวลผลข้อมูลและบริการ AI ที่สูงขึ้นทุกวัน ผลกระทบที่ตามมาคือตัวโครงสร้างพื้นฐานเหล่านี้ใช้พื้นที่ขนาดใหญ่และต้องใช้น้ำเพื่อระบายความร้อนระบบ ซึ่งเป็นปัจจัยที่หลายชุมชนยังขาดข้อมูลเพียงพอ สิ่งที่น่าสนใจคือ UN ได้เสนอ “AI Environmental Transparency Initiative” เพื่อให้บริษัท AI รายใหญ่เปิดเผยข้อมูลการใช้พลังงาน น้ำ และพื้นที่ รวมถึงรอยเท้าคาร์บอนที่เกิดขึ้น ซึ่งเป็นก้าวสำคัญในการสร้างความตระหนักและผลักดันการใช้พลังงานอย่างยั่งยืน จากการวิเคราะห์แนวโน้มในอนาคต ภายในปี 2030 ดาต้าเซ็นเตอร์อาจใช้ไฟฟ้ามากเทียบเท่ากับประเทศที่ใช้พลังงานสูงสุดในโลก ซึ่งเป็นความท้าทายใหญ่ของวงการเทคโนโลยีและสิ่งแวดล้อม การหันมาใช้พลังงานหมุนเวียนจึงเป็นทางเลือกที่สำคัญ แม้ว่าข้อเรียกร้องนี้จะยังไม่บังคับทางกฎหมายทั่วโลก ผมเองเชื่อว่าการเปิดเผยข้อมูลต้นทุนด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมของ AI ควรเป็นกฎหมายบังคับ เพราะจะช่วยให้ผู้บริโภคและนักลงทุนตัดสินใจได้ดีขึ้น และกระตุ้นให้บริษัทไอทีแข่งขันกันพัฒนาระบบที่ประหยัดพลังงานและรักษ์โลกมากขึ้น การรับรู้และเข้าใจเรื่องนี้ตั้งแต่วันนี้ จะช่วยให้เราทุกคนตัดสินใจเลือกเทคโนโลยีที่ไม่เพียงฉลาด แต่ยังคำนึงถึงสิ่งแวดล้อมและความยั่งยืนของโลกเราอย่างแท้จริง
