Future of AI: New tech will create 'digital humans,' could use more energy than all working people by 2025

CTA Thematic Programs Director Brian Comiskey and tech strategist, author David Espindola discuss how artificial intelligence will continue to change how businesses operate and the impact on consumers. Artificial intelligence will be capable of producing higher-quality "digital humans" and could use more energy than the entire global workforce by 2025, according to experts. Brian Comiskey, the Director of Thematic Programs for the Consumer Technology Association, revealed the trade association had developed an artificial intelligence working group to navigate the new technology. With his time in thematic indexing, Comiskey noted that "responsible AI" is a growing buzzword in the financial space and has become an increasing priority for leaders across various industries. By 2025, without sustainable AI practices, AI will consume more energy than the human workforce, significantly offsetting carbon-zero gains, according to Gartner's research for their 2023 strategic predictions.
