Google is evaluating technologies like small modular nuclear reactors to power its AI data centers, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2030. This reflects the increasing energy demands of AI and the need for sustainable solutions. CEO Sundar Pichai noted that such energy sources must meet high energy requirements, as the scale of AI investments complicates their goal of achieving net-zero emissions across operations. Other tech giants, including Amazon and Microsoft, are also exploring nuclear energy alternatives to power their facilities.
Sundar Pichai, in a recent interview, emphasized that Google's ambitious target of net-zero emissions by 2030 requires innovative energy solutions. He stated, 'It was a very ambitious target and we are still going to be working very ambitiously towards it. The trajectory of AI investments has added to the scale of the task needed.' This highlights the challenges posed by the growing energy needs of AI technology and the company's commitment to clear energy sources.
