Description
Artificial intelligence consumes a lot of energy. Exactly how much is
hard to say, because AI companies keep much of that information hidden –
a practice that some policymakers and activists are trying to change. On
today's episode of Politico Tech, Steven Overly called up Jesse Dodge to
better understand the energy and climate cost behind generative AI.
Dodge is a senior research scientist at the Allen Institute for AI in
Seattle, who not only develops large language models, he also studies
their electricity usage and CO2 emissions.
