Hey, I'm on Medial • 10m

Environmentalist, Micheal Thomas, has conducted a detailed analysis into the amount of energy Google & Microsoft are consuming, thanks to their advancements in AI. His findings show that Google and Microsoft each consumed 24 TWh of electricity during 2023, which is more than 100 individual countries' consumption, including Iceland, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, and Ghana. To put this into perspective, Iceland, Ghana, the Dominican Republic, and Tunisia consumed 19 TWh of electricity last year and Jordan consumed 20 TWh. This just gives us a peak into the outrageous energy requirements of AI. He also found that ChatGPT and Gemini are increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as one query using these chatbots requires 10X the electricity of a traditional Google Search query. Google and Microsoft have pledged to become carbon-free by the end of the decade. More needs to be done, as these two companies are world's most valuable companies. They make more than a lot of countries, but at what cost?
