That's a significant number on its own. But here's what makes this finding especially consequential:

In the rush to build the next generation of artificial intelligence infrastructure, one resource has quietly slipped into the background: water. While much attention has focused on energy consumption and computing scale, data centers are

We're thrilled to share that the Digital Emissions team was featured at the ASE 2025 Intelligent Software Engineering Workshop in Seoul, South Korea. Our own Josh Rauvola took the stage to present groundbreaking research on the Fair Developer Score

The infrastructure backbone of the artificial intelligence revolution is rapidly taking shape across the globe, as AI data centers experience unprecedented growth that's reshaping the landscape.
