Schneider Electric has warned that the increasing energy consumption of AI data centers could become unsustainable. The company has proposed four scenarios to prevent data centers from overwhelming the power grid, including prioritizing efficiency and resource conservation. The report also recommends optimizing data centers with the latest cooling technologies and energy-efficient hardware, making AI models more efficient, and implementing certification schemes for sustainable AI practices. The study predicts a significant increase in energy consumption due to the growing demand for AI services, raising concerns about strain on electricity grids and environmental impact.
