In this episode, I take you on a journey through the world of generative AI—the creativity, the speed, the playful experiments—and the hidden costs we don’t often see. Using the analogy of the moon, I explore the bright side: how AI empowers designers, automates tasks, and fuels industrial innovation. But I also dive into the dark side, supported by findings from the documentary Inside the Secretive World of America’s AI Data Centers.What lies behind our AI generations? Massive AI data centers consuming the power and water of entire cities. Communities living next to constant noise and vibration. Local governments trading transparency for tax breaks. And a future where AI could take up 12% of America’s electricity by 2030.As Europe debates whether to follow the US model or chart its own path, I share both my excitement and my concerns. Generative AI is a tool I love working with—but it comes with questions about sustainability, sovereignty, and responsibility.Tune in to reflect on both sides of the AI moon: the creativity it offers and the costs it hides.
