Artificial Intelligence

Share & Discuss AI tech, applications, standards, policy, predictions & fictions – incl related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Welcome to the Community

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence Community, a group for people interested in AI & technology 🤖

The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it.

This community explores AI technologies, AI (robotic) embodiments, AI applications, AI-human interactions, AI standards and policy, AI predictions and fictions – and their related technical, expectational, ethical and societal issues.

Share & discuss the latest research, techniques, and advancements in artificial intelligence, data science, data visualization, deep learning, machine learning, NLP, computer vision, ethics in AI, robotics, self-driving cars, paper discussions, daily AI news and more!  We welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experience levels and offers a valuable “village square” for sharing ideas and opinions across the AI community. 🦾

OpenAI loves to make grand announcements. Earlier this year we had the hoopla about its Stargate data center venture, worth up to $500 billion. Today the ChatGPT creator announced a letter of intent to form a strategic partnership with Nvidia to “build and deploy” artificial intelligence data centers holding “millions” of Nvidia’s #Artificial Intelligence chips. To help pay for this, Nvidia will invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI. Nvidia must be pretty anxious about competition to be paying customers to buy its chips!

In the early days of the AI boom, it was hard to develop clusters of a few thousand GPUs. Now firms are stringing together 250,000, and they want to connect millions in the future. 

That desire runs into a pretty important constraint: electricity. Companies are already trying to overcome that hurdle in unconventional ways, by building their own power plants instead of waiting for utilities to provide grid power, or by putting facilities in remote areas where energy is easier to secure. 

Still, the gap between company announcements and the reality on the ground is enormous. Utilities by nature are conservative when it comes to adding new power generation. They won’t race to build new plants if there’s a risk of ending up with too much capacity—no matter who is asking.
