Comment: Training a single AI model can emit as much carbon as five cars in their lifetimes
The results underscore another growing problem in AI, too: the sheer intensity of resources now required to produce paper-worthy results has made it increasingly challenging for people working in academia to continue contributing to research. “This trend toward training huge models on tons of data is not feasible for academics…because we don’t have the computational…
