OpenAI's ChatGPT uses 500,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity daily, far exceeding average household consumption.

The integration of AI like ChatGPT into services such as Google Search could result in staggering annual energy usage, estimated at 29 billion kilowatt-hours.

AI industry's energy consumption could hit 85-134 terawatt-hours by 2027, nearing 0.5% of global electricity use, highlighting significant environmental impact.

The challenge lies in managing AI's increasing energy demands while ensuring sustainable practices, a concern yet to be publicly addressed by OpenAI.
