"Deep learning is energy inefficient. AI tasks that use computer vision, speech processing, and NLP require big data, and typically, the training is executed using GPUs — the processes are all energetically costly. The accuracy of Alexnet meant that the processing of a single image required 700 million different MAC multiplication and accumulation) operations, with concomitant high energy consumption."
