Power-sucking GenAI set to create mountain of e-waste

The study…indicates potential for rapid growth of e-waste from 2.6 kilotons each year in 2023 to between 400 kilotons and 2.5 million tons each year in 2030, when no waste reduction measures are considered.

AI can do some really amazing things but do its benefits outweigh 2.5 million tons of waste per year?
