The artificial intelligence industry is scrambling to reduce its massive energy consumption through better cooling systems, more efficient computer chips, and smarter programming, reports AFP. AI data centres could consume 3% of the world's electricity by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. Researchers believe the challenge can be met with solutions at every level, from the physical hardware to the AI software itself. Many data centres now use AI-powered sensors to control temperature in specific zones rather than cooling entire buildings. Amazon's cloud computing business, AWS, has developed its own liquid method to cool down Nvidia GPUs in its servers, avoiding having to rebuild existing data centres.
