随着生成式人工智能技术的快速发展和广泛应用，其背后的能源和资源消耗问题也逐渐浮出水面。Sora等生成式AI的流行，不仅在网络上引起了热议，也对能源和水的使用产生了显著影响。今年2月1日，美国马萨诸塞州参议员埃德·马基等民主党人提出了《2024年人工智能环境影响法案》，旨在评估和规范人工智能对环境的影响。
该法案提议建立一套标准，用于评估人工智能在运行过程中对能源和水的消耗情况，并设立一个自愿报告框架，要求人工智能的开发者和运营者报告其技术对环境的影响。此举旨在提高人工智能行业的环保意识，并推动相关技术的可持续发展。
AI技术的快速进步为社会带来了巨大的便利和经济效益，但同时也带来了前所未有的能源和资源挑战。《2024年人工智能环境影响法案》的提出，标志着美国政府对于人工智能环境影响的重视，并试图通过立法手段引导行业向更加环保的方向发展。
在推动科技进步的同时，如何平衡技术创新与环境保护，成为当前亟待解决的问题。这一法案的提出，为全球范围内的人工智能可持续发展提供了新的思路和方向。

英文新闻内容：
As generative AI technologies advance and spread widely, the energy and resource consumption behind them has also come under the spotlight. The popularity of generative AI models like Sora has not only sparked a heated discussion on the internet but has also significantly impacted energy and water usage. On February 1st, U.S. Senator Ed Markey, along with other Democrats from Massachusetts, introduced the “2024 Artificial Intelligence Environmental Impact Act” aimed at assessing and regulating the environmental impact of AI.
The bill proposes establishing a set of standards to evaluate the energy and water consumption of AI during its operation, and setting up a voluntary reporting framework that requires developers and operators of AI technology to report on the environmental impact of their innovations. The move is intended to raise environmental awareness within the AI industry and promote the sustainable development of related technologies.
The rapid progress of AI technology has brought great convenience and economic benefits to society, but it has also presented unprecedented challenges in energy and resource conservation. The introduction of the “2024 Artificial Intelligence Environmental Impact Act” marks the U.S. government’s recognition of the environmental impact of AI and its attempt to guide the industry towards more environmentally friendly practices through legislative measures.
Balancing technological innovation and environmental protection has become a pressing issue as AI continues to advance. This bill offers new ideas and directions for sustainable AI development on a global scale.
