AI and the Environment
CONCEPTUALAI needs huge amounts of energy and water to train; data centres and their environmental cost; but AI can also help — predicting weather, monitoring deforestation, optimising energy; trade-offs
Mastery Evidence
- Explain that training AI models uses a lot of electricity and water
- Give at least two examples of AI being used to help the environment
- Describe the trade-off between AI's environmental cost and its environmental benefits
Assessment Prompt
“Could [child] explain that AI needs a lot of energy to work but can also be used to help protect the environment, and discuss whether the trade-off is worth it?”
