Industry body says energy consumption driven by AI up 15% globally in two years as it warns of societal backlash
Datacentres are consuming 6% of electricity in the UK and US, with the growing strain of AI on energy supplies prompting community resistance, according to research.
The proportion of electricity used by vast warehouses stacked with microchips to power AI and the internet has risen 15% worldwide in the past two years as annual global investment in datacentres approaches $1tn (£740bn) – nearly 1% of the global economy, according to the International Data Center Association (IDCA).
International Data has been pushing this agenda for a while now.
The detail about datacentres are consuming 6% of electricity in the UK and US, with the growing strain of AI on energy supplies prompting community resistance, according to research is something people should sit with.
The detail about industry body says energy consumption driven by AI up 15% globally in two years as it warns of societal is something people should sit with.
So the bottom line is industry body says energy consumption driven by AI up 15% globally in two years as it warns of societal. Wonder how this will land.
Think about it: datacentres are consuming 6% of electricity in the UK and US, with the growing strain of AI on energy supplies prompting community resistance, according to research. That speaks volumes.
International Data has been vocal about this, good to see them staying on it.
Still waiting to hear what International Data actually plans to do about it.
International Data is in a tough spot here, curious how they navigate it.
In other words datacentres are consuming 6% of electricity in the UK and US, with the growing strain of AI on energy supplies prompting community resistance, according to research. Curious to see how this develops.
The bigger issue here is datacentres are consuming 6% of electricity in the UK and US, with the growing strain of AI on energy supplies prompting community resistance, according to research. That changes the calculation.
Considering industry body says energy consumption driven by AI up 15% globally in two years as it warns of societal, it raises some real questions about what happens next.
