AI's increasing power consumption raises concerns about its environmental impact, especially with the rise of generative AI. Analysts highlight that AI models, particularly large language models, contribute significantly to the carbon footprint due to their energy demands. The infrastructure supporting these models often operates at low efficiency, wasting substantial power.
Experts suggest that while AI can be energy-intensive, it also holds potential for optimizing energy use in various sectors. The development of smaller, more efficient models and the use of renewable energy sources are seen as crucial steps towards sustainability. A carbon tax on AI operations could incentivize companies to innovate and reduce their environmental impact.
• AI models could account for 7.3% of data center power consumption by 2025.
• Training large AI models can emit as much carbon as five cars over their lifetimes.
