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.

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.
