What good is AI if you don’t have a planet to use it on?
Microsoft released its [2024 Sustainability Report](https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/05/15/microsoft-environmental-sustainability-report-2024/) on Wednesday, and it’s mostly bad news. Last year, Microsoft’s emissions went up 29%, and it used 23% more water, primarily due to „new technologies, including generative AI.“
But how much did usage go up? For example if Azure was used 35% more, an increase of 29% emissions would be an improvement.
cherry picking data for a headline, how surprising
maybe if they weren’t forcing copilot on every bing and windows search they wouldn’t have such high emissions
