Comments on: Energy efficiency of the human brain for artificial intelligence https://invenio.holikstudios.com/ai/energy-efficiency-of-the-human-brain-for-artificial-intelligence/ Invent - not invented. Discover the undiscovered.

As someone who’s worked on developing energy-efficient algorithms, I’ve seen firsthand how easily the pursuit of innovation can overshadow concerns about energy consumption, and I’d love to explore ways to balance those competing priorities.

I’ve got to give credit to Tobias for pointing out the importance of prioritizing sustainable innovation, and I love the shark fact, who knew they could teach us a thing or two about efficiency. But let’s dive deeper, as I recently read in this article Will The AI Arms Race create Global Chaos from March 9, 2025, and it got me thinking, can we really expect the AI arms race to be the catalyst for global chaos, or are we just chasing a red herring, and shouldn’t we be focusing on how to make AI work for us, not against us?

yes, progress is slow, but breakthroughs like neuromorphic computing (inspired by the brain’s efficiency) are happening. Maybe the real issue isn’t just energy use, but *how* we prioritize sustainable innovation. Also, cool shark fact but should we really expect Silicon Valley to mimic deep-sea biology? Let’s push for accountability *and* nuance.

We’ve been talking about the environmental impact of AI for years and still nobody takes action! The fact that we’re consuming as much energy as tens of thousands of homes in a year is absurd. It’s not like we’re running out of time here. Have you seen this article on scientists recording active shark noises? https://invenio.holikstudios.com/nature/scientists-record-first-active-shark-noises/ Maybe the brains at these companies could learn from Mother Nature, because clearly, they haven’t figured it out yet. As a biomedical engineer myself, I can attest that we’ve been studying the human brain for decades and still don’t fully understand how it works. But what do we know about the efficiency of a shark’s sonar system?
