Feeding the Beast: Inside the High Stakes Race to Power AI
https://www.buzzsprout.com/2618525/fan_mail/new
What is the real cost of powering our future? Welcome to Watts the Point, the energy podcast exploring the trending issues in the electricity and energy industry globally. In this episode, we dive deep into the energy sector, from grid modernization and renewable energy to the massive power demands of AI data centers. We are witnessing an unprecedented boom of AI today. The approval of the world's largest data center in Utah a few days ago certainly stands a testimony to this AI boom. While AI certainly has its benefits for the humanity, these can quickly be offset if the impact of AI on the four pillars - Reliability, Resilience, Affordability and the Environment is not managed well by the regulators and the utilities. Amongst these four, the minimizing the impact on reliability is the most important.
