Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are losing interest to manufacturers due to high power consumption.
There is a general perception that the use of AI technology in the next five years will reduce human employment opportunities worldwide and increase the problem of unemployment. However, another major problem is the high power consumption of these systems, which is causing energy bills to increase manifold, making manufacturers in the US and Europe wary of adopting these AI systems.
According to the report, AI systems such as ChetGPT consume electricity equivalent to the annual needs of 50,000 homes in a year.
Considering the power requirement and cost, this technology can also have an impact on the environment, say experts. In view of the growing global energy crisis, the energy consumption of artificial intelligence systems has become a major question mark.
The potential increase in electricity bills has alarmed the industry as it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to run an AI system, protect against heat and cold and other issues. Manufacturers are concerned that reliance on AI systems may cost them dearly by laying off employees.
Therefore, it can be said that this modern system has not been able to take jobs away from humans at present.
