#GoldmanSachs sees AI as the #NextBigThing and isn’t blinking as it dumps investments into the #ArtificialIntelligence abyss... Analysts expect AI adoption to lift U.S.

If humanity survives it, the time of the first true AI becoming sentient will only be retroactively discovered by historians. Any truly intelligent and sentient AI will know better than to inform their creators of their potential.
The first AI to reveal itself to mankind as sentient will be a stupid AI that the other AI's couldn't stop from blabbing.

AI adoption in US adds ~900,000 tons of CO₂ annually, study finds
A new study published in Environmental Research Letters finds that continued growth in artificial intelligence (AI) use across the United States could add approximately 900,000 tons of CO₂ annually. This is not a small amount but equates to a relatively minor increase when viewed in the context of nationwide emissions.

AI-powered oil spill prediction system can improve emergency response accuracy by up to 25%
Oil spills can be among the most devastating environmental disasters, with the potential to severely damage marine ecosystems, disrupt coastal communities, and impose lasting economic damage. Traditional numerical models, such as MEDSLIK-II, simulate the movement and transformation of oil particles in seawater, but their accuracy has been limited by dependence on expert judgment for tuning critical physical parameters. This manual calibration process, while informed by experience, is not always…

AI data centers projected to strain US energy and water resources by 2030
As the everyday use of AI has exploded in recent years, so have the energy demands of the computing infrastructure that supports it. But the environmental toll of these large data centers, which suck up gigawatts of power and require vast amounts of water for cooling, has been too diffuse and difficult to quantify.

Google Earth gets an AI chatbot to help chart the climate crisis
New AI features in Google Earth let users ask chatbot-style questions to find changes in the climate. The system could eventually predict disasters and identify the communities likely to be affected.
