AI and Energy Consumption: Social Aspects

In this position paper, we reviewed the social aspects of AI increased use from the perspective of energy consumption and possible ways to estimate the AI use impact. We proposed the approach to estimating the energy consumption and predictive analysis approaches using the following models: linear regression model, exponential growth model, agent-based modelling, network flow models and Markov chain models. We estimate the energy consumption for 10 years 73.891 TWh, 5 years 27.183 TWh and 12.214 TWh.
