AI’s deadly air pollution toll
Computer processing demands for artificial intelligence, or AI, are spurring increasing levels of deadly air pollution from power plants and backup diesel generators that continuously supply electricity to the fast-growing number of computer processing centers. This air pollution, a new UCR and Caltech study estimates, is expected to result in as many as 1,300 premature deaths a year by 2030 in the United States and bring health costs to nearly $20 billion a year.
