Replying to @𖣂𖣂𖣂 Is Ecosia's AI actually sustainable? While Ecosia has invested over €18 million in renewable energy projects so that their AI has a "positive impact," the truth is that they are still contributing to carbon emissions and water consumption by using the same data centers as traditional AI. Some benefits compared to using traditional AI and Google search is that their AI model gives more environmentally-friendly responses, and it can be turned off in search.
