The New Yorker, citing calculations by data scientist Alex de Vries of the National Bank of the Netherlands, reported that chatbot GPT is currently handling approximately 200 million commands per day from users worldwide. To fulfill this "mission," the chatbot consumes half a million kWh, 17,000 times the average daily electricity consumption of an American household.
Scientist Vries also argues that if Google integrates AI-generated technology into all searches, it will lead to the consumption of approximately 29 billion kWh of electricity per year. This is more electricity consumed than households in some countries consume in a year.

Based on figures released by Nvidia, the world's leading chip manufacturer, expert Vries estimates that the entire AI industry will consume 85-134 billion kWh of electricity per year. The increasing energy demands of AI require a multi-faceted approach. Researching more energy-efficient AI models is a crucial first step.
Researchers are exploring ways to reduce energy consumption for the AI industry, such as improving hardware, algorithms, and using renewable energy.
