Troubles in the future.
No secter that new tech need more power to operate but when the the popular browser companies such as Google who makes a deal with nuclear power plant to build the 500 MW of electricity just ot power the AI the whole situation becomes clear.
The Kairos partnership reflects a larger trend in tech, with other companies like Microsoft and Oracle also pursuing nuclear solutions to sustain the energy demands of AI and data centers, which are projected to grow exponentially in the coming years.
The Google partnership.
Google recently made a significant deal with nuclear energy startup Kairos Power to power its AI centers using nuclear reactors. This agreement focuses on small modular reactors (SMRs), with first expected to be operational by 2030. The partnership aims to deliver 500 MW of 24/7 carbon-free power by 2035, supporting Google’s data centers and advancing its ambitious goals for net-zero emissions and a carbon-free energy footprint. These reactors are not only pivotal for meeting Google’s growing energy demands, especially with the high power requirements of AI, but also showcase Google’s commitment to developing clean energy technologies to support its AI and other operations sustainably.
Will AI start to consume too much power making it not sustainable and profitable?
Right now the AI dosen’t comsume too much power and uses mix of power sources, including renewable energy. But it may be that in future AI will consume too much and in the end human will turn off the whole idea of AI and go back to older versions to sustain production and less cost of energy.
The whole idea was taken form:
