算力与能源
Training and running AI requires specialised chips, data centres, electricity, cooling water and network capacity. Demand is growing quickly and concentrating in particular places, with effects on power grids, water resources and emissions. This page sets out how AI compute uses energy and water, how those uses are measured, and what evidence serves the grid operators, planners and policymakers who must accommodate them.

图Model registry: example names and illustrative values, not a record or a live system.
Compute and energy: how the risk develops.
Compute concentration, efficiency and demand. The dossier below sets out how the risk develops, what is measured, where the data come from, how it is modelled and who decides.
Training and inference both use energy
Training a large model uses a large amount of electricity once; inference uses less per query but runs continuously at scale, and can dominate over a model’s life.
Data centres strain local grids
Large data centres need connections comparable to industrial plants. Clusters in one region can outpace grid and generation build-out.
Cooling uses water
Evaporative cooling and electricity generation consume water. Where water is scarce, data centre siting competes with other uses.
Efficiency and demand move together
Hardware and software efficiency improve quickly, but lower costs can raise total use. Net energy demand depends on both.

How compute and energy is modelled, measured and tested.
模型、其假设、数据和不确定性,以科学家或工程师会核查的形式呈现。结构遵循已发表的方法。所取数值仅为示意,不是研究发现。
系统模型
The couplings between the systems in compute and energy: signs of influence, a reinforcing and a balancing loop, and cross-links where stress jumps.
What researchers ask about compute.
- How concentrated are chip manufacturing, cloud capacity and frontier model training, and what follows from that?
- How much energy and water do training and inference use, and how is that changing?
- How much do efficiency gains offset growth in demand?
- Who has access to compute for research and public-interest uses?
Concentration, efficiency and demand.
Advanced chip fabrication is concentrated in very few facilities, and a small number of cloud providers supply much of the compute for AI. That concentration creates shared exposure to disruption, from natural hazards to export controls, and shapes who can build large models.
Hardware and algorithms become more efficient over time, but cheaper computation tends to increase total use, an effect known as the rebound or Jevons effect. Data centres draw large, steady electricity loads that can strain local grids and, where they use evaporative cooling, water supplies. Inference, the everyday use of models, can come to outweigh training in total energy use.
