Artificial intelligence runs on more than code. This DW documentary follows the physical and human costs behind the technology, starting with the data centers and server farms that pave over land and draw huge amounts of water and electricity, much of it from fossil fuel grids. It then turns to the low-wage workers who make AI systems function: content moderators and data labelers, many young and based in the Global South, who spend their shifts sorting through violent and disturbing material so algorithms learn to flag it. Interviews with these workers describe the toll on their mental health, set against the polished promises tech companies make about AI's benefits. The film also visits communities living near new data center construction, weighing the environmental strain against the industry's growth. Rather than debating whether AI works, the documentary asks who pays for it to work, tracing a supply chain of water, electricity, and human attention that rarely appears in the marketing.
