The Hidden Environmental Cost of AI

Training a single AI model emits as much carbon as five cars do in their entire lifetimes.

We are so focused on how smart these bots are that we are ignoring the massive physical

footprint. It is not just energy. We are generating millions of tons of toxic e-waste

because tech giants keep trashing hardware to get faster chips. Plus, there is a huge

divide where only the richest companies can afford to build these systems, while everyone else

just feeds them data. We need to stop obsessing over bigger models and start

prioritizing green, efficient tech before the future becomes exclusively for the elite.
