美国马萨诸塞州参议员埃德·马基等民主党人日前提出了一项名为《2024年人工智能环境影响法案》的立法提案，旨在应对生成式人工智能迅猛发展带来的能源和水资源消耗问题。该提案要求建立评估人工智能对环境影响的标准，并设立一个自愿报告框架，以便更好地监控和管理AI技术对气候和资源的影响。
据澎湃新闻报道，随着Sora等生成式AI技术的广泛应用，其背后巨大的能源消耗问题日益凸显。这些AI模型在训练和运行过程中消耗了大量电力和水资源，引发了全球对于技术进步与环境保护之间平衡的讨论。
面对这一挑战，美国议员们希望通过立法手段，推动人工智能行业的可持续发展。该法案的提出，标志着美国政府对AI技术环境影响的重视，并试图通过自愿报告机制鼓励行业内的自我监管和创新。
