Data Centers Are Creating ‘Heat Islands,’ Warming Nearby Land by Up to 16 Degrees
Every time an artificial intelligence tool answers a question or generates an image, a massive physical machine works overtime. While the digital world feels invisible, the buildings powering it are very real, and they are starting to change the local climate. As technology companies race to build bigger computing centers, a surprising environmental side effect…
