In today's evolving technological landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly integrated into various aspects of our daily life. But with this comes a surprising cost – the hidden implications of our interactions with AI on the environment and energy consumption. As a leading AI expert, renowned consumer expert, and global keynote speaker, Matt Britton provides a unique perspective on these pressing issues, illuminating the intersection of business, culture, and technology.
One of the key topics Britton touches upon in his dynamic
presentations is the surprising cost of being polite to AI. A recent article disclosed that polite interactions with AI, such as using “please” and “thank you” with chatbots like ChatGPT, are contributing to significant energy consumption. CEOs of influential tech companies have revealed that these mannerly interactions cost tens of millions in electricity costs.
While it feels peculiar to act polite towards an artificial entity, many people engage in such behavior, with a recent survey finding that 67% of Americans interact politely with AI. Their motivations vary from doing what feels ethically correct to a somewhat humorously pointed fear of an AI rebellion. Yet, the environmental impact of such interactions can't be overlooked. A single AI-generated 100-word email consumes enough electricity to light up 14 LED bulbs for an hour; imagine the cumulative effect of hundreds of such daily prompts!
Britton, with his vast experience consulting with over half of the Fortune 500 companies and his entrepreneurial background as the CEO of Suzy, a thriving market research software platform, emphasizes the importance of mindful interactions with AI. As AI permeates every sector of our lives, the demand for energy is set to soar, increasing the existing strain on sustainability.
In his high-energy, storytelling-based keynote addresses, Britton delivers hard-hitting truths, expert insights, and impactful resolutions around these critical aspects. He offers workshops, offsite meetings, and conferences for corporate audiences, providing them with the keen comprehension needed to navigate the complex AI landscape. With his unique ability to translate complex AI concepts into easily comprehendible language, Britton challenges traditional thought processes, instigates necessary changes, and motivates his audiences to be at the forefront of this digital revolution.
While it may be tempting to indulge in polite banter with your AI assistant, Britton emphasizes the need to strike the right balance. Being consciously courteous, without being excessive, can lead to more beneficial interactions. It is indeed a unique challenge to be respectful and clear in our conversation with AI without significantly impacting the environment or racking up high energy bills.
But why is this balance so important? It is essential because the behaviors we adopt towards AI today will shape the behaviors of AI tomorrow. And with AI technology continuing to evolve at a breakneck pace, it’s crucial that user interactions evolve just as quickly. Britton’s in-depth understanding of these human-AI dynamics, combined with his unique ability to turn these insights into actionable strategies, help organizations harness the power of AI in a
responsible and sustainable way.
Taking this nuanced approach to AI interactions showcases the movement empowering conscious technology use. It is a reminder of the power we have as consumers to shape how technology will impact our world and the responsibility we bear for its ethical deployment – themes that are at the core of Britton's thoughtful, engaging, and insightful keynotes.
