India can't afford AI data centres' electricity burden: Vembu
Zoho Co-Founder Sridhar Vembu reacted to an X post stating electricity bills have jumped 60% since 2023 for consumers in US due to rise in AI data centres. "This is a huge issue for India…We cannot afford the electricity bill. We cannot afford to hurt households and factories," Vembu said. "We need vastly more energy-efficient AI," he added.
