The carbon footprint of a data center

Everybody talks about the energy and water consumption of data centers. But a data center has already emitted millions of kilograms of CO2e before a single prompt is processed. Here we calculate the cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of an AI data center to show how use-phase emissions are only a slice of the picture.
