OpenAI CEO Altman: future AI depends on energy breakthrough ( www.reuters.com )
Speaking at a Bloomberg event on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Altman said the silver lining is that more climate-friendly sources of energy, particularly nuclear fusion or cheaper solar power and storage, are the way forward for AI.
"There's no way to get there without a breakthrough," he said. "It motivates us to go invest more in fusion."
Right, surely the energy intensive AIs will make the world invest in climate-friendly energy instead of just burning more fossil fuels as they always did.
Also shows how unsustainable the current neoliberal system is.
