Update of 6/4/2025: Remember the early mainframe computers with electromechanical components and vacuum tubes.
It appears, the huge power consumption of running ML & AI models is becoming more and more a political issue.
ML & AI are still in their very dynamic infancy. Excessive concerns could become a drag on its development. Don't let this happen! Government intervention at this point would be counterproductive and undesirable!
As time goes by, we will find solutions to reduce the power consumption of ML & AI. Don't worry! E.g. the high electricity bills will be a constant reminder!
It could also very well be we need more electricity generation overall! Think e.g. about Africa were about six hundred million Africans are still without electricity in their daily lives.
