AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse

AI’s use of strength Already represents 20 percent of Global Data-Center Power Demand, Research on Thursday Show in the journal in the Jole. From that demand AIIThe study says that the end of this year may be doubled, with a combination of about half of the total total data-centers Electricity Global use, excluding used electricity Bitcoin Mining.

Alex de Vris-Goga, the founder of a research agency Digiconomist that evaluates the environmental impact of technology, has published a new research in a comment. The influence of Bitcoin Mining started in the late 20’s in the late 20’s. Looking at AI, he said that the chatzPT and other large language models have become more urgent over the past few years as they use a lot of energy due to abundance of models. According to his research, the demand for AI Energy worldwide will now exceed the demand from Bitcoin mining later this year.

“The money they had to get there today was the peanuts than the money they had to get there today Google And Microsoft And all these big technology companies are in in [to AI]”He says.” It is only growing a lot, and this is a great threat. “

The development of AI is already affecting the Big Tech climate goals. There are Tech Giants Recognized in the recent stability report AI is largely responsible for the use of their energy. For example, Google’s Greenhouse Gas emissions have increased by 48 percent since 2019, complicating the targets of the net zero by 2030.

The 2024 durability report of Google is increasing the demand for growing energy from the greater intensity of AI calculations because we integrate more AI on our products, may be the challenge to reduce emissions, ” ReadThe

In the last month, the international power company has released a Report Saudi Arabia’s annual fuel demand is slightly lower than the 415 Terwat-hour in 2021, the data centers that have almost 1.5 percent worldwide fuel use. This number is only ready to grow larger: In recent years, the cost of electricity in the data center has increased faster than the overall use, while the amount of investment in the data center has almost doubled since 2022, which has been driven by extensive expansion to the account for the new AI power. Overall, the IEA has predicted that the cost of electricity at the end of the decade will increase by 900 TWH.

However, there is still much unknown about the current configuration of electricity using the AI, especially by data centers. Data centers strengthen different types of services-such as hosting cloud services and providing online infrastructure-which is not necessarily associated with AI’s energy-intensive activities. Technology companies, already, mainly keep their software and hardware energy costs in person.

Some efforts to the amount of energy consumption in AI have begun on behalf of the user: for example, the amount of electricity that is calculated in the single ChatGP. D Vris-Goga has decided to look at the supply chain, starting with the production in terms of production to get more worldwide pictures.
