Oregon State University builds new computer chip to cut AI energy costs in half

AI is exploding, and so is the related energy use. OSU engineers design a new chip to curb some of that power usage.

CORVALLIS, Ore. — The future of artificial intelligence is bright — but it’s also energy-intensive. With AI’s rapid advancement, global electricity consumption is expected to nearly double over the next five years, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). A significant driver of that increase? The growing demand for AI computing power.

But researchers at Oregon State University may have a promising solution. Engineers at OSU’s College of Engineering have developed a new computer chip that cuts one major aspect of AI’s energy
