The annual conference in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, on the energy cost of artificial intelligence and what鈥� it will take鈥檚 needed to change it.
The conference for the paradox of AI
Watt Matters in AI gathers innovators, chip designers, researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry leaders to confront the central paradox of the AI era: the same technology promising breakthroughs in health, mobility, and the energy transition is itself becoming one of the fastest-growing loads on the global power grid. Computing already consumes a few percent of global electricity, and data-center demand is climbing by more than 10% per year, significantly faster than today鈥檚 efficiency gains can deliver.
Marginal improvements to existing architectures will not close that gap. The conference exists because making AI genuinely sustainable is a problem no single discipline, company, or country can solve alone; it requires hardware, algorithms, infrastructure, and regulation moving in the same direction, at the same time. This conference aims to advance this goal.
