arXiv:2606. 00811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data centers now account for 4.
arXiv:2603. 26678v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI and renewable energy are increasingly framed as a "power couple," on the premise that surging AI demand will accelerate clean-energy investment, yet concerns persist that AI will entrench fossil-fuel carbon lock-in.
arXiv:2606. 00811v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data centers now account for 4.
arXiv:2608. 12363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: European countries are debating policies to mitigate the increased energy costs caused by renewed geopolitical tensions, while pursuing decarbonization and electrification.
arXiv:2606. 09617v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid expansion of AI globally has led to the proliferation of energy-intensive hyperscale data centres (DCs), making them as a structurally challenging component in power system planning and operation.
arXiv:2606. 14707v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI training and deployment consume substantial electricity, but carbon outcomes remain weakly integrated into routine model development decisions.
arXiv:2607. 10201v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Equitable renewable-energy planning is a sequential decision problem, but the decision variables available to a public planner differ sharply between mature and emerging economies.
arXiv:2605. 23348v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI power demand is growing at an unprecedented rate while power grids are often ailing and struggle to keep up.
arXiv:2606. 15954v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic AI systems act through tools and sub-agents, yet the controls meant to bound their financial and environmental cost still sit on dashboards evaluated beside or after execution.
arXiv:2607. 01258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been accompanied by significant increases in computational and environmental costs, driven by large-scale investments in AI infrastructure, hardware, and software.
arXiv:2607. 18272v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prosumers equipped with distributed generation and flexible loads form autonomous cyber-physical energy systems that control local resources and participate in local energy markets with minimal human intervention.
arXiv:2607. 00913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As exponential compute scaling continues, will the capabilities of frontier AI models outstrip what is accessible to developers on a small fixed budget?
arXiv:2509. 02655v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many AI alignment discussions of "runaway optimisation" focus on RL agents: unbounded utility maximisers that over-optimise a proxy objective (e.
arXiv:2606. 00729v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is often discussed in France in terms of investment, compute capacity, regulation, employment, sovereignty, and education.
