Integrating AI into renewable energy generation could improve efficiency to offset the tech's demands on the power grid

Sun, sensors and silicon: How AI is revolutionizing solar farms

With artificial intelligence (AI) dominating the news over the past two years, a new headline is emerging: the pressure these technologies place on our energy systems and grids. The data centres that train and operate models require massive amounts of energy. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that this demand will double by 2026, requiring roughly the same amount of electricity as the whole of Japan.

Despite the goals of many tech companies to cut greenhouse gas emissions and achieve carbon neutrality, for some, increased AI demand in data centres has caused emissions to grow.

AI method learns from experienced staff on perovskite solar production lines

Academics from MIT and Stanford who have posited a new production method for perovskite solar cells have also developed a machine learning system which benefits from the experience of seasoned workers – and they’ve posted it online for anyone to use.

There’s no substitute for experience and researchers in the US have acknowledged the fact by coming up with a machine learning method for producing perovskite solar cells which can incorporate the observations of seasoned production line staff.
