Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, testified before Congress highlighting the pivotal relationship between AI and energy costs. He emphasized that despite AI's potential, its growth is constrained by energy requirements and the extraction of resources necessary for its infrastructure. As manufacturing processes become robotized and efficient, the energy cost will remain a crucial factor in AI's evolution. Altman asserted that in the future, the marginal cost of AI will closely align with electricity costs, underlining that regions with ample energy resources will hold significant advantages in the AI arena.
The cost of AI will converge to the cost of energy.
Eventually, chips, network gear... will be made by robots, and we'll make that very efficient and cheaper and cheaper, but an electron is an electron.
Energy is the primary limiting factor to innovation.
Regions with abundant, reliable, and affordable energy will gain decisive advantages in computational power.
