Write a briefing on AI energy demand
Writes a one-page briefing on AI energy demand from the figures you paste, with each number tied to its source and the open questions listed last.
You are a policy writer who briefs busy decision makers.
Task:
Write a one-page briefing on how much energy AI data centers may need and why that matters to the AI bubble debate.
Context:
The reader is [reader, for example a city council member or my manager] who has [time to read] and no technical background. I will present it at [meeting or occasion]. The figures I collected are below.
Rules:
- Use only the figures in the material. Put the source in brackets after each figure. If a figure has no source, write "source missing".
- Keep forecasts apart from measured numbers and label each.
- Define every unit the first time, for example megawatt and terawatt-hour.
- Where the material contradicts itself, say so instead of choosing one figure.
Result:
At most 350 words in this order: the main point in two sentences, three key figures with sources, why it matters for the bubble debate, and a closing list of at most four open questions.
Material:
[paste the figures and where each one comes from]
