Invisible Flow in a Digital World: Silent Drains of Streams Behind Screens

“Would you like to add more?” Whoosh, whoosh—A phrase each individual is familiar with. Day by day, artificial intelligence improves; humane intelligence deteriorates. While AI technology strengthens, bodies of nature slowly melt away.

Who are you? Who am AI? Every human being knows artificial intelligence; everyone uses AI—artificial technology holds a vital role in our everyday life, AI brings us to different ideas, lets us explore new vocabularies, and is a buddy in work, and even in school.

However, artificial intelligence also thirsts—according to Ardion (a USA-based website about artificial intelligence), AI consumes water through cooling its machines; approximately 25% of the water is used, given that computers tend to heat up. Behind the AI search engines lies a hidden stream of water. Supporting energy production also consumes water, as estimated 67% through data centers powered by electricity.

AI water consumption continues to be a threat in the future—through consumption, bodies of nature do not just disappear, habitats of wildlife may also vanish, and lead to extinction. Nature does not need humans; humans need nature. Now, how can we maintain sustainability? AI continuously grows, so does its footprint in the world.

Drip. Drop. Drip.

Nonetheless, professionals and scientists strive to find a more efficient way to cool machines and preserve energy production to help maintain sustainability in the near future. AI water consumption serves as an insight to think before you prompt.

Alas-singko pa lamang ng umaga ay gising na si Aling Rosa. Habang tahimik pa ang karamihan sa kanilang barangay, abala na siya sa paghahanda ng mga turon at banana cue na kanyang ibebenta mamaya.
