Generative AI consumes more energy on non-English text, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New research indicates that generative AI models consume more energy when processing non-English languages compared to English. This increased energy demand is attributed to the larger token counts required for non-English text, as models often need more tokens to represent the same semantic meaning in languages other than English. The findings suggest potential implications for the global accessibility and environmental impact of AI technologies. AI

IMPACT The energy demands of AI models may disproportionately affect non-English speaking regions, potentially impacting global AI accessibility and sustainability.
