Study: Data center water needs emerging as new AI ‘bottleneck’

A new study warns that the water demands of data centers needed to power AI models are emerging as a 'bottleneck' for the AI industry. Data centers require large amounts of water for cooling, which can exceed the available water supply in some areas, leading to infrastructure challenges. This issue could impact major AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Alphabet that are heavily investing in data centers.
