artificial intelligence technology While it may seem fun to use it from home, type in a few commands and create visuals, using these tools requires a lot of energy. An average search using artificial intelligence uses ten times more energy than a traditional search.
at this point Apple, Alphabet, Meta And Microsoft When we look at the plans of companies to reduce CO2 emissions to zero by 2030, we have two main alternatives: either AI will consume less energy, or more energy will be produced for AI. Tech giants generally choose the second path and turn to nuclear energy.
Portable reactors are the new favorite of the technology world
Small nuclear reactorsIt is much cheaper than classical reactors. These reactors are different from normal reactors. 1/20th of the size. Furthermore, unlike classic facilities, these facilities can be moved to different locations over time. For example, it is possible to move the nuclear reactor to the location where the servers are located.
Microsoft as Nuclear Development Accelerator for its own small nuclear reactors Dr. Erin Henderson and as Nuclear and Energy Innovations Manager Todd Nee appointed. The duo previously worked at the Tennessee Valley Authority, which operates in 7 states in the US.
Moreover Microsoft, Google and Nucor, agreed to share their findings. In addition, the companies agreed to share their resources for their activities in this area.
