AI Needs to Be More Energy-Efficient
SMRTR summary
Artificial intelligence's rapid expansion is raising climate concerns due to its massive energy consumption. AI development and operation demand enormous electricity, with data centers potentially using up to 12% of total U.S. energy by 2028. This could increase costs and hinder efforts to reduce fossil fuel use. While companies explore clean energy solutions, doubts remain about whether efficiency improvements can offset AI's growing energy needs.
