Every time you use AI to generate an image, write an email, or ask a chatbot a question, it takes a toll on the planet, according to a new study from AI startup Hugging Face and researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. In fact, generating a single image using a powerful AI model consumes as much energy as fully charging a cell phone, according to the study, which is the first to calculate the carbon emissions from using AI models for different tasks. However, they found that using AI models to generate text was significantly less energy intensive. Generating text 1,000 times only consumes the equivalent of…
