By your definition, on AI side we should add energy spent on creating AI and civilization that produced it.

I think he's amortizing the cost to zero for the AI because the marginal cost per additional AI is much lower than the cost to sustain a civilization to churn out and bin human go players.
And also, there's a certain amount of 'healthcare' cost involved like with all other computers.
