In this episode of The Chip Observer, we confront a bold question: Is artificial intelligence advancing at the cost of the planet? Join us as we speak with Steven Russell, Senior Technical Fellow at TechInsights, to unpack the environmental footprint of AI—from energy-hungry data centers to water-intensive cooling systems—and how smarter tech, policy, and public pressure can pave the path toward sustainable AI. We explore the paradox of efficiency, the hidden costs of chip manufacturing, and the promises of breakthroughs like neuromorphic computing. AI isn’t just part of the problem—it might be the solution.
