A fronte del grande ruolo che, come abbiamo visto nella puntata 4, sta già avendo nell’ambito della transizione energetica, le AI sono estremamente energivore. Hanno cioè bisogno di molta energia per funzionare e, soprattutto, allenarsi, imparare e crescere. Non solo: le intelligenze artificiali hanno anche bisogno di grandi quantità di acqua, e ne servirà sempre di più, per raffreddare i data center dove passano tutti i dati. Ecco perché sono stati avviati progetti per renderle più efficienti energeticamente.
