The electricity consumption of Google artificial intelligence is the same as the electricity consumption in Ireland

Recently, statistics have been published about the addition of artificial intelligence to Google and the annual electricity consumption of this company, which shows that the annual consumption of this technology giant is equal to the consumption of the country of Ireland for a year.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, if all the searches performed in the Google search engine were based on artificial intelligence such as ChatGTP, the electricity consumption of this technology giant would be equal to the annual consumption of Ireland. Because artificial intelligence technology increases electricity consumption in large companies such as Google by about 10 times.

Researchers have recently conducted a study on artificial intelligence and its effects on the environment. This study was conducted while this technology is being added to more services and more people are using it daily.

Productive artificial intelligence needs powerful servers for its operation. The processing done for this technology increases the energy consumption of data centers, thus the amount of carbon produced also increases. One of the researchers of this study had previously mentioned the pollution caused by cryptocurrency mining. According to researchers, it is still not possible to estimate the effect of artificial intelligence services on global warming. But from now on, we should think about this issue and related areas.

Alex Doris, one of the researchers of this study, says: People should be aware of the harmful effects of this technology on the environment before using artificial intelligence in various issues.
