Artificial intelligence (AI) has not been kind to our environment. In this environmental corner episode, we break down some of the nuts and bolts of AI and what detrimental impacts it has on our environment through its energy demand, water consumption, and waste production.

We learned quite a bit in this episode, and we hope you can as well, so that we can all be more responsible and take the onus when it comes to using AI.
