AI, Energy Demand, and the Environment: Perspectives on Information Sharing

As electricity demand from AI-driven data centers continues to grow, so do concerns about how to balance technological advancement with climate and energy goals. Many research and policy efforts have focused on how to supply the energy needed for AI, but far less attention has been paid to the demand side of AI use.
