AI Is Killing Our Planet | Samiksha Mandava | TEDxEdgemont School

Every time you use AI, it may be costing the planet more than you realize. Samiksha Mandava reveals the staggering environmental toll of artificial intelligence, from billions of gallons of water cooling data centers to carbon emissions rivaling all of New York City.
