Researchers have developed UI interventions for LLM chatbots to encourage more energy-responsible use. A study found that while users are aware of AI's energy consumption, they often misestimate its actual usage and are hesitant to accept performance trade-offs. However, a prototype with features like an energy-efficient mode and usage dashboards led to participants actively choosing lower-energy options when high accuracy wasn't critical, suggesting UI design can complement backend efficiency efforts.
