Artificial Intelligence for Energy Optimization in Data Centers
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.03716v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data centers are increasingly optimized by artificial intelligence and, at the same time, increasingly loaded by it. The literature treats these as two unrelated problems: control studies model workload as an exogenous arrival process, while sustainability studies model infrastructure as a fixed multiplier. We screen roughly 194 papers retrieved through a documented protocol, code 63 of them, and report what the coding shows. Of 28 primary control-oriented studies, 18 are validated in simulation alone and 5 reach physical hardware or a production

Why it matters
AI progress is not only a software story. Chips, data centers and energy decisions help determine which models can operate economically and what end users ultimately pay.
