Welcome back to the third season of Everybody in the Pool! Well, almost. We’re busy preparing an exciting way to kick off the new year: with a four-part series on everybody’s favorite topic, AI and energy use. We’ve already been worried about data centers and their global electricity consumption, but training new AI models (and answering our inane questions and writing emails for us) are pushing that demand potentially exponentially higher. In this series, we’ll talk to executives from chip giant Nvidia and data center giant AWS (you know, Amazon), about their efforts to make computing more energy efficient, and then we’ll turn to innovation with a fusion energy company that hopes to build plants right next to data centers, and a former Microsoft exec who was in charge of designing regenerative data centers. Get ready — “Feeding the Matrix” drops next week!
