Data centers could erase decades of air quality gains
A new report warns that the rapid growth of data centers, driven largely by artificial intelligence demand, is producing enough pollution to potentially undo decades of progress on air quality. The findings point to rising emissions from power generation needed to run the facilities, raising concern among environmental and public health observers.
Why now: Concern is growing that the AI boom's energy demands are reversing hard-won environmental progress.
