Behind the advancements brought by artificial intelligence (AI) there is a dark secret: AI could leave the world without electricity in 2025. However, solar energy could save us from this catastrophe. Want to know more about this little-known risk? Keep reading.

Technology giants like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are heavily investing in artificial intelligence. These companies need very powerful processors to store and transmit data. Additionally, companies across all sectors are adopting digital transformation, which further increases the demand for data processing.

All this information is stored in data centers, which are physical facilities with many servers, storage units, and networking equipment. These data centers operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, consuming a lot of energy.

Data Centers Need Cooling Systems to Keep Equipment at an Appropriate Temperature, Further Increasing Electricity Consumption

In 2023, there were about 8,000 data centers worldwide, consuming 1.5% of global energy. This number is growing rapidly, and it is predicted that these data centers will consume 4% of the world’s energy by 2030. To give you an idea, each hour of watching Netflix consumes 0.008 MWh of electricity, while training ChatGPT-3 (artificial intelligence) in 2020 used 1.3 TWh, more than what 120 homes consume in a year.

To Solve This Artificial Intelligence Problem, Elon Musk Suggests Increasing the Generation of Clean Energy, Such as Solar Energy, and Increasing the Production of Electrical Transformers

In 2023, renewable energies hit a record in implementation, accounting for 86% of installed capacity worldwide, with solar energy representing 73% of this growth. Will solar energy be enough to offset the growth of artificial intelligence?

Increasing solar energy generation could be the solution to avoid a global electricity crisis. Share your opinion in the comments and understand how Elon Musk’s solar panel could revolutionize the solar energy market.
