Artificial Intelligence, once heralded as the solution to many operational inefficiencies in businesses, is now under scrutiny for its impact on resource consumption. Recent studies and articles highlight that while AI has promising potential, it also brings significant challenges, particularly concerning energy use and reliability. This text explores these issues and considers what this means for companies and their future approaches to technology adoption.
The Energy Consumption of AI: A Growing Concern
Recent research indicates a worrying trend in the energy consumption by artificial intelligence models. For example, an article from Zeit Online on July 2025 discusses how KI agents only manage to complete about 30% of tasks effectively. Another study from Cybernews found that employees in call centers feel AI creates more problems than it solves. Additionally, a report suggests that experienced software developers are actually more productive without the assistance of AI models. Such findings raise questions about the sustainability and practicality of current AI deployments.
