UN Report Warns AI Could Consume 3% of World's Electricity and Deplete Drinking Water by 2030

A new United Nations report reveals the staggering AI environmental impact, projecting data centers will double their resource consumption by 2030. The study estimates AI will use 3% of global electricity, produce carbon emissions equal to the UK, and consume more water than the world's annual drinking water needs. The UN warns efficiency gains won't help due to the Jevons paradox.
