So much happened during the year. It was a year of failed promises, foreign invasion, Ukrainian resistance, economical uncertainty…

Panorama of 9 photos, stitched with Hugin, and then minor enhancements in Pixelmator Pro. Shot from the top of the Vanderbilt tower in March of 2023. Can you find the imperfection in the rendering/stitching?

En quelques années, l’intelligence artificielle s’est imposée comme LA nouvelle révolution technologique à suivre.
Elle est devenue la marotte de toutes les grandes entreprises technologiques qui souhaitent prouver qu’elles continuent à innover.
Mais ce déchaînement de tokens, de GPU et de prompts cache une réalité écologique peu reluisante !!!
Sam Altman lui-même l’a dit, l’IA ne pourra pas se développer "sans une percée majeure" dans le domaine de l’énergie.
L’intelligence artificielle va donc consommer encore et toujours plus d’énergie dans les années à venir 🤔
L’énergie n’est d’ailleurs pas la seule variable à prendre en compte pour tenter de jauger l’empreinte carbone de l’intelligence artificielle !!!
L’autre grand débat qui anime le milieu de l’intelligence artificielle est sa consommation en eau !
En 2022, Google a reconnu avoir utilisé 22 milliards de litres d’eau pour refroidir ses serveurs.
Difficile à chiffrer concrètement, l’empreinte carbone des IA ne doit pas pour autant être un non-sujet et l’utilisation de ressources telles que l’eau ou l’énergie doit faire l’objet d’un débat démocratique …
Cela permettrait non seulement, comme l’exprime l’ancienne googleuse Timnit Gebru, de réduire "l’accès inéquitable aux ressources, qui affecte de manière disproportionnée les personnes déjà marginalisées", mais aussi de cesser de décorréler la magie de l’informatique de ses conséquences climatiques 🤔
A suivre donc …

In just a few short years, artificial intelligence has established itself as THE new technological revolution to follow.
It has become the favorite of all major technology companies who want to prove that they continue to innovate.
But this unleashing of tokens, GPUs and prompts hides a bleak ecological reality !!!
Sam Altman himself said it, AI will not be able to develop "without a major breakthrough" in the field of energy.
Artificial intelligence will therefore consume even more energy in the years to come 🤔
Energy is not the only variable to take into account when trying to gauge the carbon footprint of artificial intelligence!!!
The other big debate that is driving the artificial intelligence community is its water consumption!
In 2022, Google admitted to using 22 billion liters of water to cool its servers.
Difficult to quantify in concrete terms, the carbon footprint of AI should not be a non-subject and the use of resources such as water or energy must be the subject of a democratic debate...
This would not only, as former Googler Timnit Gebru puts it, reduce “inequitable access to resources, which disproportionately affects already marginalized people,” but also stop decorrelating the magic of computing from its climatic consequences 🤔
To be continued...
