SXSW 2025
How To Power and Get Empowered by AI?
Description:
AI offers a range of opportunities to us as individuals, to businesses and society as a whole. Amid the race to make AI bigger and better and exploring all the efficiency gains it has to offer; concerns related to increased energy usage are the flip side of this. Some argue that AI may account for as much as 20% of total electricity consumption in 2030. In a world where more than 60% of the population suffers from some level of energy poverty, can pursuing AI and solving the challenge of energy poverty go hand in hand?
