En las últimas dos décadas la explotación aurífera en Bolivia se ha incrementado de forma acelerada, impulsada por el alza sostenida del precio internacional del oro. Hoy una parte importante de esta producción se concentra en la Amazonia y en el norte del departamento de La Paz, territorios donde históricamente las comunidades vivieron de la agricultura, del bosque y del agua.

Artificial intelligence isn’t living in the “cloud.” It’s rooted in massive data centers that consume vast amounts of water, energy, and land. In Brazil, these facilities are expanding rapidly often without environmental studies, community consultation, or transparency. They promise innovation and jobs, but frequently export profits, strain local resources, and deepen environmental and social inequalities. This animated video by Idec (Brazilian Institute for Consumer Defense) breaks down the hidden costs of the AI boom and calls for a new digital model: one built on transparency, community rights, climate justice, and true digital sovereignty. 🔗 Read the full study “We Are Not a Backyard for Data Centers” (original: “Não somos quintal de data centers”): https://idec.org.br/publicacao/nao-somos-quintal-de-data-centers 🌍 Subscribe to Idec for more content on consumer rights, environmental justice, and sustainable technology. #IDEC #DataCenters #AIandClimate #DigitalSovereignty #EnvironmentalJustice #SustainableTech #BigTechAccountability #ConsumerRights #ClimateCrisis #WaterScarcity
