Top data centre operators Amazon, AirTrunk and CDC all declared annual scope two emissions increases of more than 20 per cent in 2024-25 and more than 100 per cent since 2020-21, according to new figures published by the Clean Energy Regulator.
AirTrunk founder Robin Khuda told The Australian Financial Review Business Summit on Tuesday that the government’s AI plan was “pretty good”, but it needed to think more holistically about how the nation would build the infrastructure required to power it.

The emissions of Australia's top data centre operators have doubled over the past few years. You can see why Amazon Australia fought so hard to try and keep these numbers hidden.......

This seems like a deferred responsibility manoeuvre to me... A) how many people will actually add a 'mental health emergency contact'? B) This doesn't address the fact the algorithms are bringing on mental health emergencies. C) If the relative is unable to help do OpenAI consider it 'did enough'?
