The Quiet Emergency Behind the AI Boom
Everyone is excited about AI breaking records, writing code, designing new medicines, and maybe even thinking like us. But there is one big problem growing behind all of this: electricity. For example, training GPT-3 used 1,287 megawatt-hours of energy—enough to power 100,000 homes. Every time someone asks ChatGPT a question, it uses about five times more electricity than a Google search.
These systems never sleep. They never slow down. And their hunger for energy is only increasing.
Why We Wrote This Paper
Our new white paper, Artificial Evolution Without Limits: Toward Energy-Unbounded AI Systems, explores what could happen if AI continues to grow without limits—and without enough power. Many believe smarter AI always means better futures. But smarter AI also means bigger power demands. If we don’t solve this, the technology we depend on may overwhelm the power grids that support it.
What You Will Discover Inside:
- The Absolute Zero Reasoner (AZR): A self-learning AI that trains and improves itself—no new data required—but it needs continuous energy to do it.
- Infinite Nature Energy (INE): A bold new idea to give AI a guaranteed share of the world’s renewable power.
- Huge Global Projects: From fusion energy plants to solar satellites in space—these big ideas could provide the power AI needs.
- Decentralized AI: Small, community-based AI systems (like Kwaai or NuNet) that run outside the control of tech giants.
- AI in Space: Imagine satellites running AIs 24/7 on solar power while energy costs rise back on Earth.
Why This Topic Matters
The biggest danger is not from AI turning evil—it’s from running out of power. If we let AI keep growing without planning our energy systems, we could face blackouts, rising emissions, and huge costs. But if we plan smartly, we could unlock massive progress in science, climate, and health.
This Paper Is For:
- Policy experts working on climate, energy, or tech
- Engineers and researchers building large AI systems
- Leaders who care about the future of energy, data, and civilization
What You’ll Learn:
- Why energy is now the biggest limit to AI
- How AZR-style systems work—and what they mean for the future
- What a global energy policy for AI might look like
- Why space and solar power are more important than ever
If interested, please do let me know and I will share the paper via email.
