We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard. The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

@technologyreview.com published an ambitious package on AI & energy today that reveals new insights into how much electricity generative AI really uses — & what it all means for the climate.

Screenshot of the following Julia REPL code: ```julia julia> myderivative(f, x) = imag(f(x + eps() * im) - f(x)) / eps(); julia> myderivative(sin ∘ log, 2.0) 0.38461945068198605 julia> cos(log(2.0)) / 2.0 0.38461945068198605 ``

I am once again reminded of the beauty of complex-step approximation for derivatives. Never thought I'd actually need that in real life, but here I am.
