The hidden cost of every prompt you type.

AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping the way we work—but at what environmental cost? In this six-minute episode, we unpack the surprising truth about AI's growing energy and water consumption. From powering massive data centres to cooling them with litres of water, every AI interaction leaves a footprint.

I break down the global impact of using AI at scale, compares it to real-world equivalents, and explores what tech giants like OpenAI, Meta, and Google are doing to address the issue.

You’ll also hear a personal experiment: what does a week's worth of ChatGPT use look like for an individual, and how can we all make more sustainable choices when using AI?
