The AI & Climate Change Debate

An overview by Stefan Bauschard

What's the Impact of AI on Energy Demand?

First, the International Energy Agency (IEA) recently published its landmark World Energy Outlook 2024 report. It suggests that energy demand for data centres and AI will still be pretty small for the next five years at least. I read it as them saying: “Everyone just needs to chill out a bit.” But in a more diplomatic way.1


Second, we’ve been here before with fears around uncontrollable growth in energy demand for data centres. It’s worth looking at why the doom scenario didn’t come true and what similarities (or differences) we’re facing today.


Third, the public and media conversation on this has been poor. I lose track of the number of headlines and articles I’ve seen that quote random numbers—without context—to show how much energy or water AI already uses. The numbers are often fairly small but sound big because they’re not given with any context of how much energy or water we use for everything else.  Read more.

The Future of Warfare is Drone Warfare

AI Weapons and the Dangerous Illusion of Human Control. Future AI-enabled warfare will be even faster and more data-dependent, as AI-enabled weapons systems (e.g., swarms of drones) can be deployed swiftly and at scale. Humans will have neither the time nor cognitive ability to assess that data independently of the machine. For instance, Israel has employed an AI-enabled target generation system during the war in Gaza. This system, which uses hundreds of thousands of details to classify targets as hostile, is too sophisticated to second-guess when decisions must be made in minutes or seconds.


War and peace in the Age of AI


Battles of Precise Mass The U.S. military must stride forward faster; today’s innovations and prototypes must become tomorrow’s everyday military force if the United States is to preserve global leadership. The growing evidence of the effectiveness of precise mass systems should trigger not just conversations about future changes but also real changes in investments today—outlays that will influence a wide array of decisions, from the ships the navy builds to the missiles purchased by the army to the artificial intelligence infrastructure that every military service will need to use. Since the core underlying technologies driving these advances in precise mass come from the commercial sector, strategists will need to think through the consequences of the large-scale proliferation of such capabilities. The relative accessibility of precise mass systems will shape the way every country, not just the United States and China, prepares for the future.

From Simon Smith (11/26): This is not an official Coke commercial. It's video generated by OpenAI's Sora after artists who received early access protested by sharing that access publicly via Hugging Face.

The tool doesn't seem to be working anymore, but you can find the artists' letter here (and in the comments below): https://lnkd.in/gvA-i8d5
