Experts say mandatory reporting on energy and water use is needed to avoid irreparable damage to environment

Expand mandatory environmental reporting.
Provide information on environmental impacts of AI systems.
Set environmental sustainability requirements for data centres.
And reconsider data collection, transmission, storage and management practices.
