According to Euronews, technology giants are asserting that they can curb the significant water consumption associated with artificial intelligence data centres as public opposition to these facilities grows in the United States.

The companies claim that newly developed cooling systems will be able to successfully lower water demand.

However, Euronews notes that achieving a reduction in water usage through these alternative cooling methods may require a higher consumption of electricity.
