Microsoft's Carbon Emissions Jumped 25% as AI Data Centers Boomed

  • Microsoft's carbon emissions rose about 25% last year, its sustainability report shows, as a frenzy of AI data-center building drove up the concrete, steel and power behind its cloud.
  • The jump pushes the company further from its 2020 pledge to be 'carbon negative' by 2030, and captures the collision between the AI boom and Big Tech's climate promises.
