Google has signed a deal to use small nuclear reactors to generate the vast amounts of energy needed to power its artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.The company says the agreement with Kairos Power will see it start using the first reactor this decade and bring more online by 2035.
“The grid needs new electricity sources to support AI technologies,” said Michael Terrell, senior director for energy and climate at Google." The grid needs fewer power hungry grifts.
AI with dedicated nuclear power? I can’t imagine anything that could possiblye go wrong in this scenario.
The AI being in charge of operating the Nuclear station would be interesring
I was going to say, make the AI responsible for its own nuclear power generation and maintenance and see what happens. Maybe simulate the power plant though.
Google takes the nuclear option
Well, it is the second best option after burning google to the ground.
I think that would release an awful lot of carbon 😓
But imagine how many homes that could power!
