Does the AI Boom Risk Burning Out the Grid?

Does the AI Boom Risk Burning Out the Grid?
The new report from Artificial Intelligence News highlights a challenge hiding behind the AI boom: power strain on national grids. 🔌💡
Here’s what stood out:
⚠️ Insane Energy Demand
Training and running big AI models now rival small cities in power usage. That’s serious, and it’s growing.

🌍 Source Matters
Most data centers still rely on fossil fuels. AI acceleration without clean power undermines climate goals.

🔄 Peak vs. Baseline
It’s not just the total power use. AI workloads spike unpredictably, which creates peak demands that grids struggle to handle.

🏭 Grid Investments Required
The article calls for grid upgrades: smart infrastructure, better storage, and more renewables.

🤝 Human + Tech Needed
Solving this isn’t just about formulas. It requires collaboration between tech firms, utilities, and governments.

At AiSensum, we’re all in on AI. That also means respecting energy use. Our workflows test for compute efficiency, and we partner with green data centres wherever possible.
💡AI can’t just be intelligent. It has to be sustainable, too.
