Much has been made of the emergence of generative AI and its strain on the electrical grid due to the energy demand. So just wait until you see how much energy agentic AI consumes. A new research paper from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology set out to quantify the “hidden costs” of AI agents, and found they can consume up to 136.5 times more energy per query than generative AI models. There’s a logic to the fact that AI agents require
