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 Energy, guest host 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.
