DeepSeek breakthrough raises AI energy questions

Raw Story  

by Sara HUSSEIN Having shattered assumptions in the tech sector and beyond about the cost of artificial intelligence, Chinese startup DeepSeek's new chatbot is now roiling another industry: energy companies. The AI revolution has come with assumptions that computing and energy needs will grow exponentially, resulting in massive tech investments in both data centers and the means to power them, bolstering energy stocks. Data centers already account for around one percent of global electricity use, and a similar amount of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, the IEA says. But the IEA projects global electricity use by data centers could double from 2022 figures by next year, to around Japan's annual consumption. "Building data centers requires lots of carbon in the production of steel and also lots of carbon-intensive mining and production processes for creating the computing hardware to fill them," said Andrew Lensen, senior lecturer in artificial intelligence at Victoria University of Wellington.
