Research indicates that artificial intelligence systems could account for nearly half of global datacentre energy consumption by 2025, posing environmental concerns. Conducted by Alex de Vries-Gao, the analysis reveals that AI already represents about 20% of current energy use within these facilities. With ongoing advancements in AI hardware and an increasing reliance on efficient computing technologies, consumption is predicted to possibly reach levels comparable to Japan's total energy use by the decade's end. The study highlights the complexities of AI's energy demand and the implications of this rapid growth.
These innovations can reduce the computational and energy costs of AI, but efficiency gains can also encourage wider adoption - and ultimately more energy use.
AI could represent up to 49% of total datacentre energy use by the end of 2025, raising concerns over environmental impact.
