How much energy does AI use?

Joshua Parker, Nvidia’s senior director of corporate sustainability, said, “AI still accounts for a tiny, tiny fraction of overall energy consumption globally." Yet, he added, the potential for AI to optimize energy use is vast.

Hear Parker explain how AI and accelerated computing drive energy efficiency and sustainability on the Nvidia AI Podcast.

Really interesting topic, I’m especially amazed on the work NVIDIA has done to help improve the efficiency of computing with enabling pandas code to run natively on GPUs, without any code changes needed, that’s wild.
