[Artificial intelligence is too energy-intensive, Google's carbon emissions soared 48% in five years] A new environmental report from Google shows that as the company has injected artificial intelligence into many of its core products, its emissions have climbed by nearly half in five years, making it more difficult to achieve its goal of eliminating carbon emissions by 2030.

　　Google wrote in the report: "As we further integrate artificial intelligence into our products, it may be challenging to reduce emissions because the increase in AI computing intensity will increase energy demand, and our technology infrastructure investment is expected to increase, which will lead to increased emissions."

　　The survey shows that artificial intelligence, especially generative artificial intelligence, which accepts user input and outputs new content such as text, images or songs, is extremely resource-intensive. With the rapid development of technology, more and more data centers are needed to build and run it, resulting in a surge in electricity demand.
