Three big things we still don’t know about AI’s energy burden

technologyreview.com James O'Donnell 2025-10-10 20:00:00

The problem with finding that number, as we explain in our piece published in May, was that AI companies are the only ones who have it. We pestered Google, OpenAI, and Microsoft, but each company refused to provide its figure. Researchers we spoke to who study AI’s impact on energy grids compared it to trying to measure the fuel efficiency of a car without ever being able to drive it, making guesses based on rumors of its engine size and what it sounds like going down the highway.

I quit my job at Amazon in May to join a startup called Icon. Best career decision I ever made, but not for the reasons you might think. At Amazon, I was on the Amazon Q Developer team, building their AI coding assistant. You'd think being at the center of Amazon's AI developer tools would be exciting, but it was actually deeply frustrating. It was apparent to anyone outside the Amazon bubble that we were losing the AI game badly. The leadership was constantly playing catch-up because there was

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has confirmed to Android Authority that the Galaxy S25 FE has an optical-based fingerprint scanner. This comes after unofficial claims that the phone has an ultrasonic scanner. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is faster, more accurate, and works with wet fingers.
