We might be dramatically underestimating how much AI is about to change the world.
According to this industry leader, AI is evolving far beyond chatbots. We're moving towards systems capable of programming, advanced mathematical reasoning, planning and solving problems at a level that could eventually surpass human intelligence.
But there's a major challenge that doesn't get nearly enough attention: ENERGY.
As AI models become more powerful, they require enormous amounts of computing power. That means more data centres, more infrastructure and an unprecedented demand for electricity.
The scale is already difficult to comprehend. The speaker highlights plans for data centres requiring up to 10 gigawatts of power — equivalent to the output of around ten average-sized US nuclear power plants.
And the predictions are even more striking: estimates cited in the speech suggest data centres could need an additional 29 gigawatts by 2027 and 67 gigawatts by 2030.
The bigger question is what happens next. If AI reaches human-level intelligence and eventually develops into superintelligence, the economic, technological and geopolitical consequences could be enormous.
The AI race isn't just about who builds the smartest technology. It's also about who has the electricity and infrastructure to power it.
