Nvidia’s Silent AI Colonialism Is Trapping East Asia in a Fossil-Fueled Hell

The rapid advancements in AI technology, spearheaded by companies like Nvidia, are causing significant environmental strain in East Asia, where over 90% of the energy-intensive microchip manufacturing takes place. This situation mirrors colonial exploitation, as the region is shouldering the environmental costs without reaping the economic benefits. The reliance on fossil fuels for these processes is exacerbating climate change and environmental degradation, highlighting a critical ethical dilemma in the tech industry's global supply chain. This imbalance not only threatens local ecosystems but also poses long-term risks to global sustainability efforts.
