When will the regulators zero in on the “energy usage” of AI?
Discussion
And it is a lot of energy to train AI..
Cloud computing in general takes a ton of energy but no regulators are crying about that. I recall a story from a guy who ran a cloud computing center that he never got any complaints about his energy usage until he switched his idle computers over to mining Bitcoin even though it was the same computers, only the precise computations were different.
We live in a hypocritical world
