IA vai fazer aumentar a procura de energia para os centros de dados
April 10, 2025 -
O consumo de eletricidade para centros de dados vai mais que duplicar
até 2030, impelido pelas alicações de inteligência artificial, mas só metade da procura deverá ser satisfeita por fontes renováveis, diz a Agência Internacional de Energia.
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.
