In my opinion, the press release accurately reflects the report, which is a solid piece of work that addresses several issues of great relevance to the field of green AI. It does not merely focus on the carbon emissions aspect of AI models, but also on other factors that are often overlooked, such as the fact that a particular data centre’s emissions may be lower, but at the cost of requiring more water. It argues that all these factors should be taken into account when evaluating different models or the efficiency of data centres.

It is a very interesting article for the general public, as it can help raise awareness of an issue that people are generally unaware of, and does so with clear data and evidence; it also invites critical reflection on the use we are making of new technologies.
