報告揭露科技公司對人工智能的可怕秘密:這個趨勢令人擔憂

人工智能可能讓人感到未來感十足且令人興奮,但其迅速崛起的背後卻隱藏著科技公司不願談論的環境代價。

發生了什麼事?
根據《衛報》報導,Byte發布的一份報告指出,人工智能數據中心正在以驚人的速度消耗能源和水資源。這些污染者中,五大科技公司——谷歌、蘋果、亞馬遜、微軟和Meta——位居榜首。

人工智能依賴於裝有大量伺服器的大型數據中心,這些伺服器消耗著巨量的能源——有估計顯示,到2030年,它們可能會佔全球能源使用的8%。除了能源消耗外,這些數據中心還需要大量的水來進行冷卻。

例如,微軟在愛荷華州的數據中心在一年內就用了1150萬加侖的水來支持人工智能的發展。隨著對人工智能的需求增加,我們已經有限的能源和水資源的壓力也隨之增加。

為什麼人工智能數據中心令人擔憂?
人工智能的環境影響不僅僅是電費問題。數據中心使用的污穢能源釋放大量有害氣體,這對地球的過熱問題造成貢獻。

同時,對水資源的壓力加劇了已經面臨資源短缺地區的乾旱情況。如果這一趨勢不加以控制,我們可能會看到生態系統、公共健康以及依賴清潔水的地方經濟受到連鎖影響。

報告指出:“這些排放的趨勢令人擔憂。如果這五家公司是一個國家,那麼它們在2022年的‘地點基礎’排放總和將使其成為全球第33高排放國,排在菲律賓之後,阿爾及利亞之前。”

對人工智能數據中心的應對措施是什麼?
科技公司並未公開它們的人工智能數據中心產生多少污染。它們通常將人工智能的能源使用統計到一般的能源報告中,這使得人們難以看清這些系統實際消耗的電力。這種缺乏透明度的情況使得公眾無法了解人工智能的真正影響,並且難以讓公司對其能源選擇負責。

普通用戶可以通過質疑公司關於其可持續性做法的問題,並選擇優先考慮環保操作的平台來推動透明度,從而看穿綠色洗牌的手法。

你是否擔心你家周圍的空氣污染?

最終,儘管人工智能擁有巨大的潛力,但其環境成本不容忽視。隨著人們意識的增強,科技公司負責任地創新變得越來越迫切——因為一個更智能的未來不應該以犧牲地球為代價。

這篇報導深刻揭示了人工智能技術背後隱藏的環境問題,令人警惕。科技公司在追求創新和效率的同時,卻往往忽視了其對環境的影響。這不僅是企業的責任,也是消費者的責任,透過選擇可持續的產品和服務,我們能夠影響市場的走向。隨著科技的進步,如何平衡發展與環保將成為未來的重要課題,我們必須持續關注並推動這一議題。

The same person, the same face, unaltered features. An almost hyperrealistic image with sharp detail, a stylish photograph captures a model standing against a backdrop of pristine white volcanic rocks. The stones are expertly arranged, revealing natural cracks in the beige hue. In a medium-length shot, the balance of luxury and meticulous attention to detail is striking. She wears a carefully tailored white suit: a jacket with a structured fabric, high shoulders, and precise waist trim, a deep V-neck that elegantly reveals the neckline without being contrived, and matching skirts that maintain clean lines and lend the look a classic, understated elegance. The head is covered by a wide-brimmed white straw hat, its high angle pointing forward and adorned with a bouquet of red and white roses resting on the front brim, adding a touch of drama and romance. Green eyes, professional makeup, full lips, and long, sleek blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. Her right hand lifts the brim of the hat as if adjusting it, while her left hand crosses her chest in a confident pose that reflects a strong feminine presence. The fabric's lines and texture are carefully highlighted with a long, graceful touch of movement. The fabric details are delicate and soft, with subtle ripples and hidden seams that enhance the sense of high craftsmanship. Soft lighting from the left creates a long shadow on the wall, giving the image depth and body without compromising the purity of the white. Shades of white blend with a touch of warm gray, and the red roses stand out as a focal point, adding warmth and visual dimension. The stone background creates a calming effect, allowing the fine details of the hat, suit, and roses to stand out. White volcanic stones. Natural fissures.

Negative Prompt: Blurry, Low Quality, Deformed Hands, Ugly, Plastic Look, Watermark, Oversaturated, Underexposed, Noise, Grain, Artifacts, Cropped, Halo, Glow Create a photorealistic movie-poster image for Zootopia 2. The scene shows a young Asian man and an oversized black shirt standing inside a crowded, dimly lit cinema. He’s flanked by Judy Hopps in full police uniform and Nick Wilde, both rendered in their official Disney CGI style. Capture the shot from a low angle so the characters feel larger than life. The cinema screen behind them is glowing with an intense action scene from the film. Let the light from the screen spill across their faces and clothing to create dramatic high contrast. The environment should feel alive with background silhouettes, soft haze, and the warm ambience of a packed theatre. Style the composition like an official Disney promotional poster: epic layout, sharp detail, high resolution, balanced framing, and clean edges. The man and the cinema should be fully photorealistic, while Judy and Nick retain their signature animated look.
At the bottom, include:
• The Disney logo
• The title ZOOTOPIA 2 in bold green and white
• The release line ONLY IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 26 Poster tone: cinematic, polished, high-end theatrical marketing. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a ultra-sharp studio portrait of a confident woman kneeling on the floor with her body slightly leaning back, her right hand gently touching her hair, and her left arm resting on her bent knee. She is dressed in a sleek, strapless black bodysuit that accentuates her figure, paired with elegant black patterned lace pantyhose that add texture and sophistication. She wears a pair of classic black high heels, elevating her posture and emphasizing her elongated legs. The background is a seamless, pure white studio backdrop, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic that directs full focus to her form and attire. *** The lighting setup is soft, evenly distributed, with a diffused key light positioned to the left, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her contours and highlight the intricate lace pattern of her tights. The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence. Use a professional camera with a 85mm or 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 for a shallow depth of field, ensuring crisp detail on her outfit and pose while softly blurring the background. Post-process minimally to enhance clarity, contrast, and natural skin tones, maintaining a polished, elegant, and modern aesthetic suitable for fashion or editorial photography.
