How Much Electricity Does an AI GPU Actually Cost?

As artificial intelligence (AI) grows rapidly, questions about the cost and environmental impact of training and deploying models have become critical. A key factor is the energy consumption of AI-specific hardware, particularly high-performance Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). These components, designed to handle the massive parallel calculations required for deep learning, require significant electricity, raising valid concerns about sustainability and the economic barrier to entry in AI development.
