What Is the Environmental Cost of AI Infrastructure?

Deep within the concrete walls of windowless warehouses, millions of silicon processors hum with a mechanical intensity that consumes more water and power than most medium-sized cities. The digital “cloud” is often spoken of as if it were an ethereal, weightless entity, yet every prompt sent to an artificial intelligence and every byte processed depends on a massive physical foundation.
