AI's power problem: the megawatt cost behind every answer.
Training a single state-of-the-art AI model can require more lifetime energy than a typical U.S. household uses in 7 years.
Some AI inference chips idle at near-zero power yet trigger massive energy use during peak multi-model workloads.
The carbon footprint of AI often spikes when data centers shift to cheaper, dirtier electricity markets during holidays.
Tiny AI updates in edge devices can cumulatively double a region’s annual energy spend due to widespread deployment.
