Face aux besoins en eau et en énergie de l’IA, ils rêvent d’envoyer des centres de données dans l’espace pour profiter de la proximité du Soleil et du froid sidéral. Un projet moins futé qu’inquiétant...

What can we learn from a Pompeii construction site preserved in ash? Plus, tech companies look to build solar-powered data centers in space.

Shifting AI inference from hyperscalers to smaller edge data centers – and even consumer devices – could have big implications for energy.

Space-based computing offers easy access to solar power but presents its own environmental challenges

OpenAI sits at the center of the AI boom that it started. But it faces increasing challenges around both the business and the technology itself.

AI is booming right now and it’s causing utility costs for everyday consumers to reach unprecedented highs. “There is increasing deployment of AI technologies behind the scenes, and that is definitely...

The demand for data centers is growing faster than our ability to mitigate their skyrocketing economic and environmental costs

The race for AI supremacy is quickly becoming a race for energy supremacy. As the U.S. lags China in nuclear development, both the government and Big Tech are making a massive new push to close the ga...

Big Tech’s AI capital expenditures are soaring, which raises the risk companies are overbuilding infrastructure before it can be monetized. That’s a trend one expert calls a “risky gamble.”

Halfway to its 2030 net-zero goal, Apple faces slow and hold-out suppliers, a tariffs scramble, and an AI race that could profoundly impact eco-friendly ambitions.

How can data centers, with their voracious power demands, be energy efficient? How can data centers, with their voracious power demands, be energy efficient? Who regulates these facilities and under w...

For the first time since GPT-2 in 2019, OpenAI is releasing new open-weight, large language models.

Tech companies are building huge data centers to power their AI supercomputers that use enormous amounts of energy. What does this mean for consumers and the environment?

Amazon’s planned data centers won’t make the state an automatic tech hub, according to UPenn professor Benjamin Lee.

Some of the investments promised during the AI and energy summit​ on Tuesday at Carnegie Mellon University included AI data centers, which can require massive amounts of energy to run.

Massive amounts of electricity are needed to support the complex servers, equipment and more for AI.

Tech companies built and planned to solar farms all over Georgia to power their data centers. But AI demanding more.

Benjamin C. Lee, a professor of electrical and systems engineering, explains what a neural processing unit (NPU) is and why it matters in the age of artificial intelligence.

Google, Microsoft and Meta have all pledged to reach at least net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Amazon set their net-zero deadline for 2040. To understand how these four tech companies could possibly...

As AI drives increasing energy consumption in the US, natural gas looks set to fill the gap

By 2028, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory forecasts that U.S. data centers could use as much as 12% of the nation's electricity. The reason: generative AI. Since 2022, AI innovation by four leadi...
