ARTIFICIAL intelligence, or AI, is the currently popular manifestation of the problematic belief of humans that if we can do a thing, we must do a thing. For every supposed benefit hailed by AI advocates, one can easily find two or three serious negative consequences.

One of the more comprehensive of those consequences is AI's comprehensive undermining of any effort to make energy production more sustainable, which, as I have pointed out on several occasions, necessarily begins with rationalizing energy usage.Two news stories last week from opposite sides of the world illustrated the problem; the first was a feature story from Nikkei Asia, and the other was an article in the US-based energy monitor Utility Dive.

Start building data centers with the same reckless abandon of the POGO boom a couple of years ago — which seems to be the level of enthusiasm those concerned currently have — and we will have those problems almost instantly.
