===Unethical maintenance of data centers===


Due to heavy investments into and increased use of generative AI and LLMs, many data centers have been constructed to host LLMs. These data centers consume large amounts of power and water, in order to power and cool the computer systems running the models. Residents that live in cities where AI data centers have been constructed have complained of an increase in their electricity bills despite no change in their personal usage.<sup>[<nowiki/>[[Consumer Rights Wiki:Verifiability|citation needed]]]</sup> According to a research video by Benn Jordan, these data centers (as well as fracking operations and natural occurrences) cause a high amount of sound pollution, which can cause various symptoms.<ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP80DEAbuo ([https://preservetube.com/watch?v=_bP80DEAbuo Archived])</ref>

===Lack of control===
In many cases where AI is deployed as a robot/drone or given access to a system/device (as an "[[wikipedia:AI_agent|agent]]"), there's no [[Security#Audit|security auditing]] of those systems that ensures AI can't exploit vulnerabilities and potentially become [[wikipedia:AI_takeover|rogue]] (either intentionally or accidentally). The consequences of this could be as little as a robot failing to do its job, to harming and killing humans and animals, this includes damaging other robots or itself.

Most AI apps include an initial "root"/"system" prompt given to the AI, which is hidden from the user. Some corporations go to great lengths to keep those prompts hidden, and to avoid leaking it to the user. Some projects attempt to bring back transparency to these tools, in spite of the restrictions.<ref>https://github.com/elder-plinius/CL4R1T4S</ref>
