The hidden cost of AI and the global water crisis
Training one advanced AI model emits the same carbon as 300 cross-country flights. Meanwhile, water demand is projected to outstrip supply by 2050. Tune in to episode 5 of Sustainable Returns as David Levinson talks to Madhushree Agarwal, Portfolio Manager at Nedgroup Investments UK, about these issues and why they both have huge implications for markets. Madhushree also shares more on AI’s carbon footprint because while it is revolutionising industries, it comes at a steep environmental price. Data centres consume large amounts of energy and water, which is raising urgent questions about sustainability. Plus, insights on the global water crisis - from desalination to smart irrigation, find out where risk meets opportunity for investors.
