The rapid advancement and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are significantly increasing the demand for computing power, memory chips, and energy. This surge is primarily due to the complexity of AI algorithms and the extensive computing power they require, as noted by @BasuChandola. Data centers, crucial for housing the computing infrastructure necessary for AI, are consuming large amounts of electricity and freshwater. The demand for data centers is being amplified by AI. In response to the growing needs, there is a notable push within the tech industry to find sufficient energy sources to support this expansion. This has led AI executives to explore various avenues, including fossil fuels, to meet their urgent energy needs. Additionally, the demand for memory chips is on the rise, as AI-optimized systems with GPUs and upcoming AI PCs require more memory, according to Micron Technology CEO @MicronCEO, speaking at #adobesummit. The industry is also exploring investments in hardware and potentially more energy-efficient methods of computation to address the challenges posed by the new AI era.
