"AI-driven productivity gains enable more CO₂ emissions than they avoid in a global energy–economy model", says a new study published in npj climate action: "Under parallel adoption scenarios, net annual CO₂ emissions increase by 0.47–1.8 gigatonnes (1.2–4.8% of 2024 global energy-related CO₂ emissions)." To avoid it "net emissions reductions require renewables gains 4–5× greater than fossil fuel gains." #AI #AIEmissions #ClimateChange https://www.nature.com/articles/s44168-026-00411-0
