AI may run in the digital realm, but it depends on very real physical infrastructure. As data centres require ever more electricity, the question is moving beyond how much power AI consumes to who bears the cost.

AI may run in the digital realm, but it depends on very real physical infrastructure. As data centres require ever more electricity, the question is moving beyond how much power AI consumes to who bears the cost.
Join us for the next session of the Centre for European Transformations' quarterly webinar series, taking place on 9 June from 5:00–6:00 PM CEST.
In this 12th session, Roxana Mihet and Peter Brodehser will discuss "Is AI Trained with Public Money? Evidence from Data Centers."
AI may be digital, but the infrastructure behind it is highly physical. As data centers consume increasing amounts of electricity, the debate is shifting from how much power AI uses to who ultimately pays for it.
We look forward to another great session with engaging discussions.
