This energy use will come even though there is a chance that AI will solve some of its energy problems via the creation of energy models, which are beyond the capacity of homes to create.

Powering artificial intelligence models takes a lot of energy. A new analysis demonstrates just how big the problem could become ...

A study found that a single AI image generation can consume as much as half of a smartphone's battery charge, and that's not mentioning the water use.

However, they found that using an AI model to generate text is significantly less energy-intensive. Creating text 1,000 times only uses as much energy as 16% of a full smartphone charge.
