Google's DeepMind AI Cuts Data Center Power Bills - InformationWeek

Google dramatically cut its energy usage for cooling its datacenters by up to 40%, with the help of its DeepMind artificial intelligence, the company announced Wednesday in a blog post. Alphabet's Google began using machine learning two years ago to save energy and money at its data centers. Over the past few months, Google added artificial intelligence from its DeepMind research and significantly improved on its results. Google was able to cut up to 40% of its energy usage from cooling its data centers and, overall, improve its power usage effectiveness (PUE) by 15%, after accounting for other non-cooling inefficiencies and electrical losses. For Google, its energy reduction results could bode well should it decide to launch something as a source of revenue.
