The surge in A.I. technology has prompted an unprecedented spending spree by major tech companies, investing an estimated $105 billion in data centers last year alone.
While the energy demands of A.I. have raised environmental concerns, there is an optimistic perspective that A.I. can also enhance efficiency and reduce carbon emissions in various sectors.
The rise of generative A.I. has greatly increased energy consumption, as services like ChatGPT require nearly ten times the electricity of a regular Google search.
Experts predict that energy consumption by worldwide data centers will at least double in the coming years, with Goldman Sachs forecasting a 160 percent increase by 2030.
