Global adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) has been highlighted as a main source of uptick in data center construction and investment in recent years, alongside investments in cloud computing. Since data center loads are large and require continuous power, they need the buildout of energy sources that can provide continuous electricity, such as nuclear or fossil, or grid-scale storage to complement renewables. This poses challenges for both local electric grids and broader climate goals. This workshop aims to understand how to map, measure, and mitigate the impacts of AI as they relate to data center electricity usage.
