Three Democrats are seeking information from tech firms about the growing energy use of data centers and the utility bills of individuals and other businesses.
The energy needs of data centers used for artificial intelligence are forcing utility companies to spend billions of dollars to upgrade the power grid, the lawmakers said.
The data centers used for work on artificial intelligence can cost tens of billions to build. Tech giants are finding ways to avoid being on the hook for some of those costs.
The company is looking to slash costs by “reducing bureaucracy, removing layers, and shifting resources” as it continues to spend aggressively on artificial intelligence.
