Sam Altman Says AI Using Too Much Energy, Will Require Breakthrough Energy Source

Nature always bats last…

On a really bright front, if AI/ML drives innovation in power generation, I’m there for that.

It’s no secret that AI models like those behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT require an astronomical amount of electricity.

The process is ludicrously energy intensive, with experts estimating that the industry could soon suck up as much electricity as an entire country.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is looking for cheaper alternatives. During a Bloomberg event at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the billionaire suggested that the AI models of tomorrow may require even more power — to the degree that they’ll need a whole new power source.
