The unchecked growth of AI poses significant risks, both to the environment and to societal well-being. Its escalating energy consumption mirrors unsustainable dynamics seen in other extractive systems, where short-term gains overshadow long-term stability. Training large-scale AI models already demands vast amounts of energy, with the carbon emissions from a single model equivalent to the lifetime emissions of five cars. This trajectory not only exacerbates the climate crisis but also highlights the inefficiencies of centralized, energy-intensive AI infrastructures.
