  • As AI Scales, Should There Be More Concerns About the Environmental Impact?
There is hardly a day that passes without AI being in the news headlines – good, bad or indifferent.

The recent frenzy surrounding the release of DeepSeek and how it may impact the market has opened discussion on the cost of AI from training costs (DeepSeek claimed their costs were $50 million compared to hundreds of millions for OpenAI GPT-4 and Google Gemini), hardware and energy costs, as well as open source savings.

With large-scale AI deployments requiring immense computational and storage resources, the environmental impact is an often-overlooked consequence. More and more organisations are looking to integrate AI in their front-end and back-end processes—be it Large Language Models (LLM) like GPT-4 and DeepSeek, Generative AI, Autonomous Systems, Robotics, or Computer Vision.
