A compelling necessity on AI

Call to make tech firms report data centre energy use as AI booms https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/07/call-to-make-tech-firms-report-data-centre-energy-use-as-ai-booms?CMP=share_btn_url

“In recent years advances in AI systems and services have largely been driven by a race for size and scale, demanding increasing amounts of computational power,” said Prof Tom Rodden, the pro-vice-chancellor of research and knowledge exchange at the University of Nottingham, who was a member of the NEPC working group that delivered the study.

“As a result, AI systems and services are growing at a rate unparalleled by other high-energy systems – and generally without much regard for resource efficiency. This is a dangerous trend, and we face a real risk that our development, deployment and use of AI could do irreparable damage to the environment.”

My readers aside from the above, let me say this in simpler terms. If you’re smart and you are aware of the possible becoming of a monstrous machine you’re creating, then you must take note of everything you’re doing towards this unpredictable becoming. You must do this because some day you may have to undo it hopefully it’s not too late. This should be compelled as public record my readers because any eventually repercusion will be public as well. Jane or Jone Doe should have access to such record because you never know how the problem may be solved.
