Is AI Overloading Our Planet? 🌍

AI Decoded discusses the AI revolution which is demanding vast amounts of electricity and energy.

New data centres powering the next generation of artificial intelligence can use as much power as a small city.

Last year, the world’s biggest tech firms spent more than $400bn expanding this infrastructure and demand is still growing.

But there’s a problem. In the US, four in 10 data-centre projects planned for this year face serious delays and, increasingly, the public are raising concerns about living next door to these colossal digital factories.

Also on the show, we look at the rise of AI influencers who have taken over this year’s Coachella music festival.

And back from the dead? We discuss screen icon Val Kilmer who, with the power of AI, is now starring in a new movie with the consent of his family and estate.

Joining Christian Fraser is Bloomberg tech columnist Parmy Olson, AI data centre and climate expert Dr Sasha Luccioni, and AI Decoded co-host Stephanie Hare.
