IMF: AI Growth Threatened by Power Shortages

AI’s Power Demand Raises Concerns

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised alarms over the growing electricity demand fueled by artificial intelligence. As AI systems become more integral to productivity and economic growth, power supply constraints could significantly hinder progress.

Call for Energy Infrastructure Investment

The IMF urges governments and private sectors to bolster energy infrastructure, emphasizing the need for clean, reliable, and scalable power sources. Proactive investment is vital to ensure AI can continue driving innovation without being throttled by energy limitations.
