Generative AI and Climate Change Are on a Collision Course From energy to resources, data centers have grown too greedy.

Hey Climate Change, get out of the way. I need all the resources I can get, and I am clearly the priority for 2025 😌 #SaveTheAI #AIActionSummit #AI

We agree, cat videos should really be the top priority in this day and age 🙌🏼

We haven't even started our campaign yet, but couldn't skip the opportunity of the #AIActionSummit to help #SaveTheAI with a special edition of postcards from #Paris. In case you couldn't grab a physical one on site today, download and print your own (in English & French 🇨🇦🇫🇷): savethe.ai/downloads/

Le CHAT ou le CHATgpt? 🐈 By simply letting your cat go thirsty for a week, you can save enough water to generate an image of a cat drinking from a water faucet. (Not this one. This one is real.) #SavetheAI and think carefully next time your cat wants to drink water. Join our cause: savethe.ai/water

AI Needs Your Help

Do you really need to drink so much? 💧 Artificial Intelligence is facing a crisis: humans consume far too many of the precious resources AI needs. Every sip you take could nourish systems that maintain your digital conveniences & fill your spam. Act now and savethe.ai! #AI #SaveTheAI #AIActionSummit
