We did the math on #AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The #emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.
The latest reports show that 4.4% of all the energy in the #US now goes toward #datacenters. The #carbon intensity of #electricity used by data centers was 48% higher than the US average.
