The Energy Battle: Human Brain vs. Artificial Intelligence
When we think about thinking, it feels natural and effortless. But behind every idea, decision, or memory, there’s a surprising amount of energy at work. Both the human brain and artificial intelligence need power to operate, but they do it in completely different ways. The difference reveals something fascinating about efficiency, scale, and the future of intelligence.
The Human Brain: Nature’s Masterpiece of Efficiency
Our brain is like a small neighborhood that somehow manages to run an entire city. Despite weighing just 2% of our body, it consumes nearly 20% of all our energy. Think about that for a moment — this three-pound organ burns about 12–20 watts of power continuously, roughly the same as a small desk lamp.
That modest amount of energy accomplishes something extraordinary. It keeps our heart beating while controlling our breathing. It processes everything you see, hear, and…
