Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing industries, but its environmental footprint is growing at an alarming rate. In 2023 alone, U.S. data centers consumed roughly 4% of the country's electricity, and experts predict that number could more than double by 2030.
Training large-scale AI models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 or Google's Gemini, requires immense computing power, leading to staggering energy consumption. Every chatbot response, image generation, or voice assistant command adds to this ongoing load, making AI a significant contributor to global energy demand.
