What would this look like exactly? What earmarks the power usage as AI, opposed to regular server cost? Just inference and training, or does this also include cost of accumulating and cleaning the data?
It seems like there's no real metric defined here, and as a result any self reported cost by compute breakdown would be largely meaningless.
