1. AI, cryptocurrency, and data centers' energy consumption are projected to double by 2026, reaching levels equal to Japan's electricity usage.
2. Generative AI, like OpenAI's GPT-3, requires significant energy for training and querying, using as much electricity as 130 US homes annually.
3. Transparency and greener AI are crucial as the world faces dangerous temperature increases and needs to conserve energy.
4. Generative AI can use 30-40 times more energy than traditional AI for the same task, contributing to climate change and energy consumption.
5. Storing and accessing data online consumes more energy than non-connected storage, and training AI models requires powerful, energy-intensive chips.
