Is AI's Energy Demand Really a Threat? History Shows We Can Innovate Our Way Out.

The world is collectively freaking out about the growth of artificial intelligence and its strain on power grids. But a look back at electricity load growth in the United States over the last 75 years shows that innovations in efficiency continually compensate for relentless technological progress. In the 1950s, for example, rural America electrified, the industrial sector boomed, and homeowners rapidly accumulated nifty domestic appliances s…

Model also tells you exactly how much energy is needed to develop answers and shows everyday equivalents to raise awareness about the use of technology How much electrical energy is actually consumed each time we talk to an artificial intelligence bot? Julien Delavande, engineer at Hugging Face — a platform that brings together developers, researchers, and AI enthusiasts — has just revealed this information. Its new model measures, in real time,…

Assessing AI: How libraries can lessen artificial intelligence’s energy impact

Read the full story from American Libraries. Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing entire industries, including libraries. Although this technology offers immense potential to enhance services, library workers and others must consider its environmental impact.
