Part 9/11:
Although some experts argue that AI has transformative potential to revolutionize energy consumption and assist in combating climate challenges, this remains largely unproven. Situations where AI could theoretically reduce business energy consumption by 40% rely heavily on its efficient application rather than addressing the overall energy footprint created by massive computational needs.
Currently, advancements are being sought in developing specialized hardware and new cooling methods to lower energy consumption. Improving the management of data cycles and minimizing the frequency of training are also strategies under discussion. Furthermore, researchers highlight the importance of discerning AI usage, advocating deliberate engagement with this technology rather than default dependency.
