According to @timnitGebru referencing a Reuters interview, Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that 'no firm is immune if the AI bubble bursts,' highlighting industry-wide risks as AI valuations soar. Despite claims that AI could be 'more profound than electricity or fire,' the practical impact on climate change is under question, as Google's own emissions have risen by 48% and the company has reportedly abandoned its carbon neutrality goals (Reuters, 2025-11-18). This underscores a growing business challenge: AI's rapid adoption boosts operational energy demands, which can conflict with sustainability objectives. Companies in the AI sector must now balance innovation with responsible environmental strategies to maintain stakeholder trust and market position.
