Over the past month ro so we have seen a growing number of articles about AI market over hype and in particular, Microsoft which has pulled back from plans to build new data centres and also from letters of intent relating to purchase of 2 Gigawatts (GW) of energy, representing a significant scaling back. The general feeling would appear to be that AI's energy consumption is already too high and delivering the promises will exasperate that further.
Here are a few good publication's articles:
- Silicon - Microsoft Drops AI Data Centre Projects
- Telecoms.com - Microsoft cans another bunch of planned data centres
- The Register - Microsoft walking away from datacenter leases (probably) isn't a sign the AI bubble is bursting
