Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force across industries, but its extensive use has raised serious environmental concerns. The increasing energy demand, carbon emissions, and e-waste generated by AI systems have significant environmental consequences. This paper explores how the overuse of AI technologies contributes to environmental degradation, focusing on data centers in India and their ecological footprint. It also proposes sustainable strategies for mitigating these effects through green computing, renewable energy adoption, and energy-efficient AI models.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Environmental Impact, Data Centers, Energy Consumption, Sustainability, Green AI.
