A new report indicates that concerns surrounding AI’s projected energy consumption might be exaggerated. While it’s true that tech companies are increasing their electricity usage for AI model training and operation, prompting utilities to expand infrastructure, including gas plants, the report casts doubt on the notion of an impending “AI-energy apocalypse.” The core question raised is whether current forecasts accurately reflect the realistic, long-term energy requirements of artificial intelligence, suggesting that present anxieties could be founded on an unsustainable AI boom.
