Data centres chase water, energy savings as AI race ramps up

Three data centres squatting alongside the cruise ships and freighters in French Mediterranean port Marseille are testing water-saving cooling methods by pumping out an old coal mine.

The article from MSN discusses how data centers, crucial for powering AI technologies, are increasingly focusing on sustainability due to their high energy and water consumption. Companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are investing in innovative cooling technologies and renewable energy sources to reduce their environmental footprint. For instance, Microsoft has developed underwater data centers to leverage natural cooling, while Google aims to operate on 24/7 carbon-free energy by 2030. Additionally, there's a push towards using less water-intensive cooling methods like air cooling or advanced liquid cooling systems. The urgency to make these changes is driven by both environmental concerns and the escalating demand for AI, which requires more computational power and thus more energy and cooling resources.
