Low-power AI could define the next era of global innovation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is constantly reshaping everything we do. Across industries, it is changing the way we do work, but that rapid expansion can’t continue without bumping up against real tangible limitations.
Most notably, planning for hyper scaled data centers across the world and increasingly complex cloud computing infrastructures and AI systems are leading to difficult conversations around energy pricing, generation and availability.
Around the world, electricity consumption is increasing at some of the fastest rates seen in decades, and there are no signs of it slowing down. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects global electricity demand growth of 3.3% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026, driven heavily by those same data centers, AI deployment, and other advanced industrial expansion.
The IEA has also warned that electricity demand from data centers is expected to double by 2030, with AI-focused facilities alone projected to triple their power use over the same...
