In 2023, it was estimated that artificial intelligence represented a power consumption of 4.5 gigawatts worldwide, or eight percent of total power consumption in data centers that year. AI's power consumption is expected to grow significantly in the next five years, forecast at 14 to 18.7 gigawatts in 2028. That would account for up to 20 percent of data center power consumption that year.
