Discover how AI-driven chat applications like ChatGPT can have environmental impacts with a study by the University of California and University of Texas, Arlington. They estimated that Microsoft's GPT-3 and GPT-4 models used 185,000 gallons of fresh water, or equal to 370 BMWs or 320 Tesla vehicles. ChatGPT consumes 500ml per 20 to 50 queries, making a large total water footprint with its user base. Rising research and understanding of the implications of AI technology can bring about improved practices.

Microsoft has taken the lead in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with ChatGPT, overtaking Google who have been careful in adopting AI technologies. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's AI language models into Bing search engine and Edge browser, allowing the Redmond-based giant to take the lead. Google's response was the introduction of chatbot, Bard, based on Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). It has triggered suspections that Google had been overly cautious in getting their tech ready, while their rival Microsoft had pushed on. Details have emerged on Google's efforts to prevent harm from AI, with reports of employees reviewing the company's AI products and reducing the potential risks for launch. Microsoft, however, has been mum about ethical and security issues, keeping a minimum size executive team and canning employees who raised a concern. The goal for Microsoft is to lead the AI competition - something which is clear from an email seen by The New York Times, delivered by the giants technology executive, Sam Schillace.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai turned to the company's Bard AI chatbot for help when planning his father's 80th birthday. Powered by LaMDA, the chatbot provided creative, thoughtful answers to whatever questions it was asked. While some are concerned about the implications of AI technology, Pichai remains optimistic, believing the chatbot can become even better with more powerful models. Read to find out more!
