A short video published by Dinamalar draws attention to the less-discussed environmental cost of the digital revolution: water use linked to artificial intelligence (AI).
The clip highlights a striking figure, stating that AI has “consumed” 15,000 crore litres of water—pointing to the scale of resources required behind the scenes.
While AI is often discussed in terms of innovation and productivity, the video frames water consumption as a hidden side of rapid digital growth.
The report adds to ongoing public discussion on how emerging technologies can have real-world resource impacts, even when their outputs appear purely digital.
