The Insatiable Appetite Of AI

By Carter Thomas

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world - but what is it costing us and our planet? The AI infrastructure is still very young, but its pace of development is staggering, as are the energy resources that it demands. The Insatiable Appetite of AI explores a pressing yet currently under-considered issue: AI's massive and growing need for energy.

This book explores how much we already use and rely on AI in our daily lives, as well as what it takes to continuously improve its performance and accuracy. The staggering scale of processing power involved leads to an exponential demand for energy consumed by AI data centers. Since most of the energy still comes from fossil fuels, obvious concerns over environmental impact come to the forefront.

Readers will learn how renewable energy is being introduced to offset environmental detriment and how researchers are developing energy-efficient algorithms to keep up with energy needs without sacrificing performance. Real-world case studies illustrate how industries are attempting to address AI's footprint, "hidden" costs, often kept out of public discourse, are exposed, and a roadmap for potential paths to AI's energy solutions helps to understand how increasing demand can be sustained moving forward.

Tech enthusiasts, environmental advocates, and those simply curious about the true cost of AI's innovation will be presented with a compelling, accessible, and balanced idea of what we face in the future and how we build smartly and responsibly to avoid burning out our planet.
