    AI and the Environment — What’s the Real Cost?
    Feb 6 2026
    Every time we type a prompt into an AI tool, it feels like magic. But behind that instant response is a massive system using electricity, water, and data centers around the globe. In this episode, Claudine Wong and Lisa Bernard explore the real environmental impact of AI with MIT PhD candidate and science communicator Jordan Harrod. Key Topics: • What large language models actually are • How AI uses energy and water • AI vs Google searches • Data centers and community impact • AI policy and regulation gaps • How AI could help fight climate change Notable Quotes for Social: “Every AI answer feels instant — but the environmental cost is anything but.” “We’re all excited and uneasy about AI at the same time — and that’s okay.” “AI policy already exists — we just don’t always call it AI policy.” Connect with Us: Claudine Wong — ClaudineWongKTVU (IG & FB), ClaudineKTVU (TikTok), ClaudineWong (YouTube) Lisa Bernard — @DemystifyAI (Instagram) Guest: Jordan Harrod (TikTok & Instagram: @jordanharrod) Learn more about your ad choices.
