Episode Synopsis

Send us a textArtificial intelligence is revolutionizing industries, but its environmental footprint is growing at an alarming rate. In 2023 alone, U.S. data centers consumed roughly 4% of the country's electricity, and experts predict that number could more than double by 2030. Training large-scale AI models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 or Google's Gemini, requires immense computing power, leading to staggering energy consumption. Every chatbot response, image generation, or voice assistant command adds to this ongoing load, making AI a significant contributor to global energy demand.Referral Links StreamYard: https://streamyard.com/pal/c/5142511674195968 ElevenLabs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/e1hfjs3izllp Contact Digital Revolution "X" Post (formerly Twitter) us at @DigitalRevJim Email: [email protected] Follow Digital Revolution On: YouTube @ www.YouTube.com/@Digital_Revolution Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/digitalrevolutionwithjimkunkle/ X (formerly Twitter) @ https://twitter.com/digitalrevjim LinkedIn @ https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14354158/ If you found value from listening to this audio release, please add a rating and a review comment.
