Chart of today

How Much Energy Does AI Really Use?

AI’s power demand is skyrocketing, but exact numbers remain undisclosed. Researchers estimate usage in two ways:

1?? Market-Based Estimates:

• AI’s supply-chain footprint is analyzed by tracking server shipments.
• If Google Search fully integrates AI, it could require 400,000–500,000 NVIDIA A100 servers.
• Each AI-powered search could use 23–30× more energy than a normal search, consuming 23–29 TWh annually—as much as a small country.

2?? Real-Time Power Tracking:

• Generating AI text or an image uses ~0.5 watt-hours (Wh).
• Training GPT-3 consumed energy in the gigawatt-hour (GWh) range.
• With billions of AI queries daily, inference energy costs now exceed training costs.

? Will AI Energy Demand Keep Rising?

• Could decrease: Smaller models, efficient chips, and legal challenges could slow demand.
• Could explode: Jevons Paradox (efficiency drives more use), AI integration into daily tools, and massive investments may drive consumption higher.

Why important? AI could become as essential as electricity and the internet, or its demand might stabilize—shaping future energy policies, investments, and sustainability efforts. (Source)
