We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

Описание: AI is the hottest technology of our time. Still, so much about it, including its energy use and the resulting potential climate impact, remains unknown. Leading AI companies keep exact figures about the technology’s energy consumption closely guarded. But we did the math to figure it out.

For six months, MIT Technology Review’s team of reporters and editors worked to uncover the extent of AI’s energy footprint, how much it’s set to grow in the coming years, where that energy will come from, and who will pay for it.

The result is a comprehensive look at AI's energy use, revealing the growing complexity of our shared future.
