Karen Hao, an artificial intelligence reporter and columnist for The Atlantic, recently wondered how much water and energy computing data centers use. When Hao homed in on one facility, she learned tech corporations weren’t always keen on divulging the answers. Shi En Kim spoke with Hao about how she dealt with stonewalling from Microsoft and found creative workarounds to illustrate the scale of AI’s environmental footprint, even in the absence of official statistics.

Multiple groups are working to keep Amazon, Google, and Microsoft from doubling the number of centers in the country, fearing environmental devastation.

Data centers could use up to 9% of total electricity generated in the United States by the end of the decade, more than doubling their current consumption, as technology companies pour funds into expanding their computing hubs, the Electric Power Research Institute said on Wednesday.
