Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial element in various industries and everyday life, leading to a surge in energy consumption due to the demands of AI data centers.
Training and deploying advanced AI models require significant computational power, contributing to the growing energy footprint of AI.
AI-specific data center demand is projected to triple by 2030, potentially consuming over 1,000 terawatt-hours annually, equivalent to the electricity consumption of Japan.
To address the environmental impact of AI's rising energy consumption, collaboration among industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers is necessary to develop smarter, cleaner, and more energy-aware systems.
