Datacenters and AI: Orange’s Technological Choices for a More Sustainable Digital Future
● The rapid increase in the number of AI-dedicated datacenters worldwide is driving up energy consumption. By 2025, global electricity consumption by datacenters will have risen by 17%, and by 50% for those dedicated to AI.
