Rishi Sunak is to spend up to £100m of taxpayer money on thousands of high-powered artificial intelligence chips in an effort to catch up in a global race for computing power.
appreciated by many, i know it wasn t appreciated by me, and that is the physical energy required in general for computing power. the need to cool down servers, the need to cool down computing power. that takes a lot of energy that we don t fully e appreciate. good morning. yes. so a.i. has been, you know, very popular in what it can enable in terms of social reputations, but what s hidden behind is the pact that for any a.i. algorithm, there s significant computing resources that you need to use. and those are used in three faces. when we experiment with the algorithm, right, to make it work, when we train it which means we actually make it work with the data we want, and when we use it. unfortunately, all three phases require significant computing resources, and those computing resources translate into energy from the power grid as well as into water that s needed in the data center and
