AI is exhausting the power grid. Tech firms are seeking a miracle solution.
Data centers, the nondescript warehouses packed with racks of servers that power the modern internet, have been around for decades. But the amount of electricity they need now is soaring because of AI. Training artificial intelligence models and using AI to execute even simple tasks involves ever more complicated, faster and voluminous computations that are straining the electricity system. The data-center-driven resurgence in fossil fuel power contrasts starkly with the sustainability commitments of tech giants Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta, all of which say they will erase their emissions entirely as soon as 2030.

Britain’s Brewing Battle Over Data Centers
The Labour Party, which is leading in UK election polls, has proposed making it easier for companies to build new server farms—risking a new type of conflict in communities across the country. If they win the election, the Labour Party is planning to treat data center projects as “nationally significant infrastructure” like wind farms or airports, says Neil Ross, associate policy director at industry group TechUK, who has been involved in talks with the party. That would give ministers the ability to overrule local officials who attempt to block data centers from being built.

”Tekniken finns, men viljan att implementera saknas”
I dagens digitala landskap har sociala medier blivit en central plats för shoppingannonser. Dessa annonser marknadsförs ofta som interaktiva upplevelser, men verkligheten är långt ifrån denna beskrivning. För att verkligen revolutionera digital annonsering och göra den interaktiv på riktigt behövs ny teknologi. Dagens teknologiska begränsningar och en ovilja från stora plattformar att förlora kontrollen över användardata håller oss tillbaka.
