Over the past three years, major technology companies have seen a 150% increase in their indirect emissions, driven largely by the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. This surge in emissions has raised environmental concerns, with reports indicating that the growth of AI infrastructure could contribute to increased air pollution in regions such as Texas. The United Nations has issued warnings about the environmental impact of the AI boom, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices as tech firms continue to scale their data center operations.
