Artificial Intelligence Chips have a slight life cycle and multiply e -wast with environmental influence
Artificial Intelligence (IA) consumes large amounts of water and energy, It has a major environmental effect on the amount of electronic waste produced, whose recycling and recycling of complex metals are expensive And not widely according to EFE.
This technology has increased the search for graphic processing chips, It is necessary to train the productive patterns of AI that can produce new and original content from previously learned data.
“Oh The life cycle of these chips lasts three to five years, which means that after that time, and even before they are ignored“University professor Ana Valdivia told the Spanish Agency. The cost of recycling these chips is not higher and economically profitable.
According to the latest University of the United Nations Report in 2022, 62 million tonnes of electronic waste worldwide were produced, of which only 22% of the record value was collected and recycled.
A. The production of electronic waste is growing five times faster than recycling, warning the reportIf it measures measured, the number of electronic waste will increase by more than 33% by 2030.
A. Recycling this type of waste not only reduces its environmental effect but also allows them to take advantage of metalsThe agency pointed out when complex metals became a geographical strategic problem.
One of the institutions dedicated to the recycling of electronic waste is MovelexIt works in Portugal, Spain and Latin America.
OS Tools reach recycling factories to remove hazardous parts, come from clean points, companies or other sources, sauces – saffron – And then the recovery process begins to pick up your metals, but also other ingredients such as plastic, which allows you to reduce the environmental effect of your product.
In addition, it is I must also take into account the commitment to the circularity to take measures to extend the lifetime of the chips And consider the investment of companies that conceive them like Envidia.
