The article discusses how the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leading the world towards an energy crisis. Data centers used for AI computing are consuming vast amounts of electricity, with models like GPT-4 requiring significant energy to train and operate. As AI becomes more prevalent across industries, the energy demand is expected to increase, posing a challenge for sustainability.
The energy consumption from data centers is already a significant contributor to global energy consumption and carbon emissions, with projections showing a substantial rise in energy requirements. The geographic dispersion of data centers, coupled with their increasing energy demands, is creating strain on electricity distribution networks. Companies utilizing AI are not only driving the construction of more data centers but also increasing the power usage within these facilities.
