It is currently being piloted to investigate and prevent hospital outbreaks caused by antibiotic-resistant “super bugs.” A new approach ensures…
However, the energy consumption of AI systems, particularly large-scale language models (LLM), has raised concerns about sustainability. These systems rely on data centers that require huge amounts of power for computing, storage and data transmission. In Germany alone, data centers consumed approximately 16 billion kWh in 2020. This accounts for about 1% of the country’s total energy usage. By 2025, this figure is projected to rise to 22 billion kWh, reflecting an increase in demand for AI-powered services. To address this issue, experts at the Institute of Technology Munich (TUM) have developed a new training method that significantly reduces AI…
