But but but...AGI is gonna bring utopia & AI will stop climate change!

"By looking at where power is being generated & the size of nearby populations, the researchers estimated the number of adverse health events that would likely be caused by AI-related air pollution."

"By 2030, because of the expected increase in electricity demand for training and running AI models, data center-related air pollution could result in as many as 1,270 premature deaths and 600,000 cases of asthma nationwide on an annual basis, according to the study. All told, the pollution would cause as much as $21.5 billion per year in health-care costs, the researchers said."
