🪰 Buzz Around AI

This news shocked me today. Who would have thought a big company like Google would increase its greenhouse gas emissions by almost 50% in just five years?

It's hard to believe, but it's true.

According to Google's 2024 Environmental Report, they released 14.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2023. That's 48% more than in 2019 and 13% more than in 2022.

It's a sad reality we have to face.

The increase in GHG is due to energy-intensive data centres supporting AI workloads.

A team from Hugging Face and Carnegie Mellon University did a study last December.

They researched how much energy different AI models use for various tasks.

These were some interesting facts they came up with:

1. If you create one image with AI it will use about the same amount of energy as charging your smartphone once.

2. Generating text with AI will be more energy-efficient as it takes only about 1/1000 (one-thousandth) of the energy needed for creating an image.
