Google has released a new study<\/a> [PDF warning], detailing what it claims is the environmental impact of “delivering AI at Google scale”. The study estimates that a median Gemini AI text prompt uses less energy than watching nine seconds of television<\/a>, and consumes “0.26 milliliters (or about five drops) of water”\u2014but some experts have disagreed with its findings.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Verge<\/a>, Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California and one of the authors named in the study, said: “They’re just hiding the critical information. This really sends the wrong message to the world.”<\/p>\n

Chief among their concerns is Google’s apparent omission of indirect water use in its data. While the claim that roughly five drops\u2014or 0.26 ml\u2014of water is consumed per median text prompt may be true regarding data center cooling systems, it doesn’t take into account the vast amount of water used by power plants providing electricity to the facilities.<\/p>\n

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that 60% of data center water consumption<\/a> is from indirect sources, like the water needed to cool power facilities and used to generate steam to spin their turbines. Google claims that its water consumption figure is “orders of magnitude less than previous estimates”, referencing a 50 ml figure in Ren’s research, but Ren claims that their figure takes into account indirect water consumption as well.<\/p>\n

And while that 0.26 ml figure might seem like a relatively insignificant amount taken on its own merits, it’s worth noting that many modern data centers are often built in the world’s driest areas<\/a>, where even a few drops per query, multiplied by the many, many queries it receives, still makes a significant dent in the local supply.<\/p>\n

The study also doesn’t factor in the cost, either in water usage or C02 production, of training the AI models in the first place. While Google has not released any assessments of these impacts, Mistral, a French AI startup, has previously reported that training its Large 2 model resulted in the production of an estimated 20.4 kilotons of carbon dioxide<\/a> and consumed 281,000 cubic meters of water, equivalent to around 112 Olympic-sized swimming pools.<\/p>\n

Speaking of carbon emissions, both Ren and Alex de Vries-Gao, another research author cited in the study, also disagree with the way renewable energy was factored into the estimates. The experts claim the paper uses a generalised, market-based measure of C02 production, rather than looking specifically at the locations where Google’s data centers draw their energy from.<\/p>\n

Both argue that Google should have taken into account the specific mix of renewable and “dirty” energy supplying its facilities, rather than factoring in commitments made by power companies to support renewable energy growth on the power grid overall with a market-based metric.<\/p>\n

Ren and de Vries-Gao also argue that their previous work referenced in the study was incorrectly represented, given that Google compared its own figures based on median prompts to their data, which was based on averages, and Google did not share figures for how it arrived at said median. The figures also don’t take into account video<\/a> or image generation<\/a>, both of which Google’s Gemini AI provides.<\/p>\n

It’s not just Google claiming tiny amounts of water consumption in its data centers, either. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claimed earlier this year that a typical ChatGPT query uses one 15th of a teaspoon of water<\/a>, which does seem like a relatively insignificant amount, even when you multiply it at scale to account for billions of potential prompts.<\/p>\n

However, much like Google’s claims, looking at individual metrics and using them as an indicator of AI’s environmental impact overall seems to me to be an oversimplification of a very complicated issue. While efficiencies appear to be being made in regards to AI’s water consumption and power usage, as soon as you factor in the sheer scale of data center expansion<\/a>, and the apparent power gap<\/a> it’s expanding into, it starts to look like much less rosy of a picture.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
