AI Is Ravenous for Energy. Can It Be Satisfied?

Every company betting that artificial intelligence will transform how we work and live has a big—and growing—problem: AI is inherently ravenous for electricity.Some experts project that global electricity consumption for AI systems could soon require adding the equivalent of a small country’s worth of power generation to our planet. That demand comes as the world is trying to electrify as much as possible and decarbonize how that power is generated in the face of climate change.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

It’s Not Just You: Email Search Is Terrible. Here’s How to Do It Smarter.

Q: Finding specific messages in my Gmail app seems harder than it should be.

One factor: The apps tend to prioritize email search results based on the recency of messages, rather than their relevance. This isn’t helpful.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

News Publishers See Google’s AI Search Tool as a Traffic-Destroying Nightmare

Shortly after the launch of ChatGPT, the Atlantic drew up a list of the greatest threats to the 166-year-old publication from generative artificial intelligence. At the top: Google’s embrace of the technology.About 40% of the magazine’s web traffic comes from Google searches, which turn up links that users click on. A task force at the Atlantic modeled what could happen if Google integrated AI into search. It found that 75% of the time, the AI-powered search would likely provide a full answer to a user’s query and the Atlantic’s site would miss out on traffic it otherwise would have gotten. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
