AI data centers are multiplying across the US and sucking up huge amounts of power. Our analysis shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans. Map: readings from ~770K home sensors. Red zones: areas with the most distorted power. [image]

Analysis: 50%+ of the US households showing highly-distorted power readings from February to October were within 20 miles of significant data center activity

🚨NEW INVESTIGATION🚨 @naurtorious @andretartar and I analyzed exclusive data from ~770K sensors and found a strong link between proximity to AI data centers and higher levels of distorted power, which can damage home appliances and aging grids. 🎁: https://www.bloomberg.com/... [video]

We visualized granular data for sensors within two Virginia communities: one located far from data center activity and recording “normal” power distortions, the other located within 7 miles from significant data center activity and recording alarming double digit readings. [video]

🚨NEW🚨: AI Is Wreaking Havoc on Global Power Systems We analyzed data on 1000s of data centers and found that AI data centers are coming online so fast that electricity demand is straining global power grids and threatening clean energy goals 🎁 https://www.bloomberg.com/... [video]

As power needs of AI push emissions up, tech companies explore experimental clean energy projects such as atomic fusion and futuristic geothermal power plants

As power needs of AI push emissions up and put big tech in a bind, companies put their faith in elusive — some say improbable — technologies.

Because of their huge electricity capacity, data centers are also HUGE, literally, some of these buildings are now the size of 130 soccer fields or TWICE the size of the mall of America (the biggest shopping mall in the US with a rollercoaster inside). [video]

What's alarming is that the growth in electricity demand from data centers is such that it could soon equal or exceed some countries' renewable energy supply. In Ireland, data center's energy usage was already equal to 53% of its renewable energy supply in 2022. [image]

Analysis: the AI frenzy is expected to drive the global data center energy consumption to 1,580 TWh by 2034, about as much as is used by all of India currently

🚨Read this before you use OpenAI for Hiring🚨 @LeonYin @daveyalba and I ran thousands of resume screening tests with GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 and found that the tech will racially discriminate applicants based only on their name. Serious implications. 🧵 1/10 https://www.bloomberg.com/... [video]

Tests show GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 systematically produce biases that disadvantage protected groups, based on their names, when screening and ranking job candidates

Recruiters are eager to use generative AI, but a Bloomberg experiment found bias against job candidates based on their names alone
