AI chip manufacturing derails climate progress in East Asia
A new report has identified a spike in the #electricity consumption rates of artificial intelligence (#AI) chip manufacturing by 350% since 2023.
The research paper, published by #Greenpeace East Asia, notes that East #Asia bears the brunt of the #ClimateImpact of AI chip manufacturing. Asian countries like #Taiwan and South #Korea are leading hubs for #semiconductor manufacturing but soaring electricity demand is denting #ClimateChange targets.
Semiconductor manufacturing plants in the region are turning to #FossilFuels to power their operation. The combined global #emissions from AI chip manufacturing in Asia Pacific, particularly South East Asia, could cause the region to miss out on its environmental #sustainability targets.
