Google's chief scientist, Jeff Dean, refuted the idea that AI is solely to blame for the increase in data center emissions, stressing the importance of considering all data and trends.
Dean highlighted that the growth of AI energy usage is often confused with overall data center consumption, where AI remains a small but fast-growing segment, not solely responsible for the increase.
While committed to clean energy by 2030, Google's progress may not be linear, facing delays due to clean energy provider collaborations coming online in the future.
