'Thirsty' AI: Training ChatGPT Required Enough Water to Fill a Nuclear Reactor's Cooling Tower, Study Finds
When calculating AI’s water consumption, the researchers draw a distinction between water “withdrawal” and “consumption.” The first example is the practice of physically removing water from a river, lake, or other source, while consumption refers specifically to the loss of water by evaporation when it’s used in data centers. The research on AI’s water usage focuses primarily on the consumption part of that equation, where the water can’t be recycled.
Cooling towers like the ones shown below are often deployed to try and counteract that heat and keep the rooms in their ideal temperature by evaporating cold water.Cooling towers get the job done, but they require immense amounts of water to do so. The researchers estimate around a gallon of water is consumed for every kilowatt-hour expended in an average data center. Not just any type of water can be used, either.
