La IA impulsará la creciente demanda de electricidad de los centros de datos
April 10, 2025 - Se proyecta que la demanda de electricidad de los centros de datos se más que duplicará para 2030, impulsada principalmente por aplicaciones de inteligencia artificial, según la Agencia Innternacional de Energía (AIE).
At the same time, AI can unlock opportunities to produce and consume electricity more efficiently, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its first report on the energy implications of AI.
Data centres represented about 1.5% of global electricity consumption in 2024, but that has increased by 12% annually over the past five years. Generative AI requires colossal computing power to process information accumulated in gigantic databases.
Together, the United States, Europe, and China currently account for about 85% of data centre consumption, AFP said.
