<strong>Meta<\/strong>, and <strong>Cloudflare<\/strong> are implementing layoffs and hiring freezes, while simultaneously allocating record sums to <strong>AI<\/strong>-related infrastructure. These companies assert that <strong>AI<\/strong> is not directly replacing jobs, but rather redefining business priorities, determining which areas receive investment and which face cuts.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, <strong>Microsoft<\/strong> announced 4,800 job cuts, explaining that while <strong>AI<\/strong> wasn't the direct cause, it is transforming work methods and necessitating resource reorganization. <strong>Amazon<\/strong> eliminated 30,000 corporate jobs between October 2025 and January 2026, yet plans to invest approximately $200 billion in 2026, primarily in data centers, cloud infrastructure, and <strong>AI<\/strong> chips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cloudflare<\/strong> reduced its workforce by over 1,100 employees (about 20%) in preparation for the 'era of <strong>agentic AI<\/strong>,' but expects to hire more engineers and sales personnel, anticipating a larger workforce by 2027. This illustrates <strong>AI's<\/strong> dual role in eliminating certain positions while creating new ones. <strong>Meta<\/strong> also cut about 10% of its global workforce, reassigning around 7,000 employees to <strong>AI<\/strong>-related roles, and increased its annual investment forecast to between $125 billion and $145 billion.<\/p>\n<p>These trends indicate that while <strong>AI<\/strong> may not automatically replace all disappearing jobs, it plays a decisive role in determining which areas are considered future-proof and which become candidates for the next round of cuts. <strong>AI<\/strong> is now at the forefront of strategic investment and staffing decisions within technology companies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\" style=\"margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u6b27\u5dde\u3001\u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u3092\u5730\u71b1\u767a\u96fb\u3068\u5730\u57df\u6696\u623f\u306e\u30a8\u30cd\u30eb\u30ae\u30fc\u5de5\u5834\u306b\u5909\u9769<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u539f\u984c:<\/strong> Europe wants to power artificial intelligence with the heat that sleeps underground and take advantage of every last degree that its servers produce.

Mart\u00edn Nicol\u00e1s Parolari<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><span>English Summary:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The rapid growth of <strong>AI<\/strong> is dramatically increasing the electricity demand of <strong>data centers<\/strong>, posing a new energy dilemma for Europe. In response, Europe aims to transform this challenge into an opportunity by integrating <strong>deep geothermal energy<\/strong> with <strong>district heating<\/strong> systems. This strategy involves using underground heat to power <strong>AI<\/strong> infrastructure and repurposing the residual heat from <strong>data centers<\/strong> for urban heating.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, geothermal energy was largely confined to volcanic regions, but the adaptation of deep drilling techniques from the oil and gas industry has led to <strong>Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)<\/strong>. These systems allow for heat extraction from dry hot rock, reducing costs by approximately 40%. As a result, geothermal electricity in Europe can now be produced for under \u20ac100\/MWh, making it competitive with fossil gas.<\/p>\n<p>Geothermal potential maps in Europe align with major <strong>data center<\/strong> hubs like <strong>Paris<\/strong>, <strong>Amsterdam<\/strong>, and <strong>Frankfurt<\/strong>, many of which already have <strong>district heating<\/strong> networks. This 'triple-win' model envisions geothermal plants providing stable electricity to <strong>data centers<\/strong>, with waste heat from both the plant and servers channeled into urban heating networks.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Helsinki<\/strong>, the energy company <strong>Helen<\/strong> has been recovering heat from <strong>data centers<\/strong> for years, supplying tens of thousands of homes. This approach positions <strong>AI<\/strong> not just as a power consumer but as a strategic heat source, potentially creating a circular energy infrastructure that connects the digital economy with urban well-being. The European Union is advancing this technology through the establishment of the <strong>European Geothermal Alliance<\/strong> to accelerate permits and funding.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div

<strong>carbon negative<\/strong> by 2030, meaning it would remove more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it emits annually. However, the rapid growth of <strong>AI<\/strong> is making this objective increasingly challenging.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Microsoft's<\/strong> 2025 Environmental Sustainability Report, the company's emissions increased by 25% year-over-year. This surge is primarily attributed to the expansion of <strong>data centers<\/strong> for <strong>AI<\/strong> services and cloud computing, along with their escalating energy demands. Gross emissions reached approximately 34 million metric tons before accounting for clean electricity purchases and carbon removal initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>While <strong>Microsoft<\/strong> invests in renewable energy, new cooling systems, low-impact building materials, and carbon capture projects, the pace of <strong>AI<\/strong> infrastructure growth is outstripping the progress of these sustainable solutions. 'Scope 3 emissions,' generated across the supply chain, pose a significant challenge, with the manufacturing of servers, chips, and the use of carbon-intensive materials in data center construction driving up emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The company's electricity consumption also rose by about 24% in fiscal year 2025, indicating that <strong>AI<\/strong> demand is outpacing the integration of new clean energy sources. <strong>Microsoft<\/strong> aims to match 100% of its electricity consumption with carbon-free energy 24\/7 by 2030, but <strong>AI's<\/strong> growth is pushing this goal further away. <strong>Amazon<\/strong> and <strong>Google<\/strong> have reported similar increases in emissions due to <strong>AI<\/strong> and cloud service expansion, highlighting <strong>AI's<\/strong> growth as the biggest challenge to tech companies' climate commitments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI\u306e\u6025\u901f\u306a\u767a\u5c55\u304c\u5927\u624b\u4f01\u696d\u306e\u6226\u7565\u3001\u96c7\u7528\u3001\u305d\u3057\u3066\u74b0\u5883\u76ee\u6a19\u306b\u4e0e\u3048\u308b\u5f71\u97ff\u3092\u6df1\u6398\u308a\u3002Microsoft\u306e\u70ad\u7d20\u6392\u51fa\u91cf\u5897\u52a0\u3001\u6b27\u5dde\u306e\u30c7\u30fc\u30bf\u30bb\u30f3\u30bf\u30fc\u3068\u5730\u71b1\u30a8\u30cd\u30eb\u30ae\u30fc\u306e\u7d71\u5408\u3001\u305d\u3057\u3066AI\u306b\u3088\u308b\u4f01\u696d\u518d\u7de8\u3092\u5206\u6790\u3002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sns_share_botton_hide":"","vkExUnit_sns_title":"","_vk_print_noindex":"","sitemap_hide":"","_veu_custom_css":"","veu_display_promotion_alert":"","vkexunit_cta_each_option":"","_lightning_design_setting":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[8,127,381,27,76,72,342,508,509,308,15,382],"class_list":["post-1090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-columns","tag-ai","tag-amazon","tag-cloudflare","tag-meta","tag-microsoft","tag-72","tag-342","tag-508","tag-509","tag-308","tag-382"],"veu_head_title_object":{"title":"","add_site_title":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itexplore.org\/jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
