DARPA Funds Project to Measure AI Energy Use Across Workflow Stages

DARPA is backing a project to quantify AI energy consumption at every stage of the workflow, addressing the surging power demand from data centers, which is projected to more than double by 2030. The initiative aims to improve efficiency and inform grid planning, but its scope and impact remain uncertain. This matters as AI-driven energy demand strains grids and complicates climate goals.
