I was going to respond with a link to the classic paper called "Artificial Intelligence Meets Natural Stupidity" by McDermott but looking for he link I found a very recent one by Amory Lovins with the same title. The abstract starts:
ReplyDeleteFuture electricity needs for artificial intelligence (AI) are wildly uncertain—shaped by unproven concepts, disputed performance, limited trust, volatile markets, unpredictable adoption, and technical efficiency that quadruples roughly each year. Yet a speculative surge is driving massive investment in data centers and new electricity supplies, risking a 12-figure overbuild. Avoiding an electricity bubble requires clear-eyed analysis, disciplined planning, a
nd using markets to allocate risks fairly to potential beneficiaries.
A cautionary history: In 1999, the US coal industry claimed that information technology would need half the nation’s electricity by 2020, so a strong economy required far more coal-fired power stations. Such claims were spectacularly wrong but widely believed, even by top officials. Hundreds of unneeded power plants were built, hurting investors. Despite that costly lesson, similar dynamics are now unfolding again.
