In this episode of "AI & Beyond," we explore the energy consumption of artificial intelligence compared to Bitcoin mining. We discuss how both technologies demand significant energy but reveal that Bitcoin mining relies more on green energy due to its proof-of-work mechanism. Additionally, we delve into research that shows AI writing and illustration systems produce far lower carbon emissions than humans. Join us as we uncover how AI might offer a more sustainable alternative for certain tasks, despite its energy requirements.
