Abstract
In the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the transformative potential of AI technologies was marred with environmental apprehensions. ChatGPT, Google, and Microsoft's natural language processing saw substantial growth, with ChatGPT reaching 100 million monthly users by 2023. However, this advancement stirred environmental apprehensions. AI adoption, exemplified by ChatGPT, brought forth pressing issues of energy consumption, water usage, and electronic waste. The paradox surfaced as AI which was envisioned as a tool to combat climate change, paradoxically contributed substantially to the ecological crisis. Perspectives on the growth of AI varied, with some experts seeing it as inevitable while others underscored the urgent need for sustainable practices. Could tech developers balance the soaring demand for AI tools with sustainability imperatives, or would technological advancements come at the planet's expense?
