There is no doubt that the vast majority of electronic tools used in modern technology consume countless amounts of electricity and water. Are there methodologies to address this problem?

The introduction of cryptocurrencies and the activities involved in their respective processes have shed a new light on the subject, further underscoring the urgent need to start getting moving to safeguard the planet and the environment in which we live.

To be precise, the problem is not exclusive to the world of cryptocurrencies; Artificial Intelligence is equally guilty of it. Generally, generative AI tools are powered by GPUs, complex computer chips capable of handling the billions of calculations per second, and obviously needed to power systems like ChatGPT.
