American cloud software company Domo has released a special edition of its Data Never Sleeps infographic to better map the proliferation of artificial intelligence in modern society.
This new AI-focused edition of the annual Data Never Sleeps report found that $293,000 is spent globally on AI every minute, and it provides a deeper dive into the immense amount of AI data generated every minute and the impact this brings into everyday life.
“When ChatGPT brought LLMs into the spotlight, it opened everyone’s eyes to just how impactful AI can be. We’ve seen a flood of AI applications emerge as a result,” said Ben Schein, senior vice president of product at Domo.
“Domo has reported on data volumes for over a decade and the way AI has impacted data creation rivals that of the early days of social media platforms.
“This special AI edition gives a glimpse at just how much volume we’re seeing in this AI boom.”
Highlights from the Data Never Sleeps: AI Edition report include more than 1,389 images created by program Dall-E 2 every minute, 19,028 images created by other text-to-image platforms, 7,431 minutes of AI-generated video are created, and 35 new cars with hands-free automation are sold – each minute – worldwide.
The proliferation of AI has noble and not-so-noble benefits, with employees saving 467,882 hours of work using ChatGPT, while 52 college papers were flagged for AI plagiarism on Turnitin every minute.
Spending on AI has reportedly increased to US$293,000 every minute, as has the increased cooling needed to sustain AI with up to 185 gallons of water used to cool down the heat generated from ChatGPT supercomputer’s computational power in the same period.
“The data highlights the various ways AI is impacting all facets of life, from simple to complex tasks, and the resources it takes to support its computing power,” said Schein.
“We’re just [at] the beginning of this new era, and with our own customers using Domo.AI, we’re experiencing firsthand the power that AI and data bring to unlocking business impact.”
