Schneider report looks at how AI energy demand may play out
Briefly

"Policymakers need to carefully guide the future consumption of electricity by AI datacenters, ensuring it doesn't spiral out of control amid rising demand for electricity due to AI's expansion."
"Schneider has modeled four distinct scenarios for the energy demand of AI datacenters, highlighting potential outcomes ranging from Sustainable AI to an Energy Crisis, each with unique implications for the future of electricity consumption."
"The report emphasizes that existing datacenter infrastructure currently demands significant energy, necessitating additional resources to accommodate the anticipated growth in AI technology without overwhelming electricity grids."
"Sustainable AI posits that prioritizing efficiency can lead to increased energy consumption, while other scenarios depict various challenges and risks associated with unchecked AI growth impacting energy availability."
