ANALYSIS | AI blackout? Rampant energy consumption threatens the future of artificial intelligence

Rene Haas, CEO of Arm, highlighted – in a text published by Bloomberg – the issue of excessive energy consumption of artificial intelligence (IA). The forecast is that data centers will consume more energy than the whole of India by 2030. Haas warns of the need for a change in the industry to make AI more sustainable, as training these systems requires an enormous amount of computational energy.

It is important to analyze this scenario with some caution. Firstly, Haas represents Arm, a company that develops chips focused on energy efficiency. Therefore, his speech has a commercial bias, as the massive adoption of this technology would directly benefit his company.

Despite the potential conflict of interests, the warning about AI's energy consumption is valid. It is essential to seek solutions to make the training and operation of these systems more efficient. This may include technological advances in hardware e software, as well as optimizing the use of data centers. Only then can AI reach its full potential withoutpromewill have sustainability process energy on the planet.
