"The group, operating as the Water-AI Nexus Center of Excellence, said it is seeking to draw on the combined knowledge of its participants, working in academia, the water industry, utility sectors and tech to ensure AI growth does not come at the expense of the world's water supplies. "By maximising efficiency, eliminating unnecessary water use and investing in community-tailored solutions, we can collectively ensure that technological advancement and environmental stewardship will - and must - advance together," the group said, in a statement."
""Water utilities worldwide are facing unprecedented challenges from climate change and ageing infrastructure, while simultaneously working to serve communities that depend on reliable, affordable water services," said Howard Carter, president of The Water Environment Federation. "The Water-AI Nexus Center of Excellence will accelerate innovation by connecting water professionals with AI experts to develop solutions that benefit both sectors, as well as the communities they serve.""
Amazon has joined the Water-AI Nexus Center of Excellence, a coalition with the Water Environment Federation, The Water Center at the University of Pennsylvania and Leading Utilities of the World. The coalition seeks to ensure AI datacentres use water more sustainably and to prevent AI growth from depleting global water supplies. The group will draw on expertise across academia, the water industry, utilities and tech to maximise efficiency, eliminate unnecessary water use and invest in community-tailored solutions. The coalition will also apply AI to address water scarcity and insecurity. The group released a roadmap for datacentre operators to minimise water usage without jeopardising innovation and is inviting broader participation.
