Tracking the real cost of artificial intelligence

AI Usage Global is a daily publication focused on one thing: the real cost of AI. Water consumption by data centers, energy and power usage driving up electricity demand, rising compute costs pricing out researchers, and the environmental impact of scaling artificial intelligence worldwide.

What we cover

This site tracks AI through the lens of resource consumption and consequences — not hype, not product launches, but the measurable ways AI usage affects water supplies, energy grids, infrastructure costs, and the environment.

Expect daily reporting on data center water usage, GPU shortages and chip costs, electricity demand from AI workloads, carbon footprint of training runs, regulatory responses to AI's resource footprint, and the economics of scaling AI.
