The rise of AI is pushing energy demands to new heights, exposing the true emissions of tech giants, which may be 662% higher than reported.
Data centers now consume 1% to 1.5% of global electricity, with projections indicating a 160% increase in power demand by 2030 due to AI.
Despite claims of carbon neutrality, tech companies like Amazon and Google face scrutiny regarding their emissions accounting methods, compromising their transparency.
Goldman Sachs highlights that AI queries consume significantly more electricity than traditional searches, raising concerns about future emissions as AI technology proliferates.
