AI Could Beat Bitcoin in Energy Use
The rapid growth of AI is creating a serious energy challenge. New research shows that the electricity use of AI data centers may soon surpass even the power demands of Bitcoin mining.
AI data centers are using huge amounts of electricity, possibly more than an entire country like Ireland.

The total power demand of AI hardware may reach 23 gigawatts by the end of the year, nearly equal to the entire electricity consumption of the UK.
