OpenAI is at the top with $14 bn, followed by Anthropic with $4.2 bn, and Databricks with $4 bn. As countries, the biggest investor in AI over the last 5 years is the US at $329 bn, with China at $133 bn, and Britain at $26 bn. What's alarming, however, is that power consumption for AI, estimated by Schneider Electric at 4.5 GW in 2023, is likely to go up to 14-18.7 GW by 2028. That's also attributable to a search on Google consuming 0.3 watt-hours (Wh), while a single ChatGPT query requires 2.9 Wh. Over a 1-year period, ChatGPT queries would roughly consume 10 TWh (terawatt hours), which can power all of New Zealand for 3 months. Another significant reason for the increase in AI power consumption is the new generation of GPUs (graphics processing units) being used. The CPU in a computer handles tasks for the software on the server to run, while a GPU helps perform repetitive tasks and concurrent calculations in parallel, very much faster.
