Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said at a meeting of the US House of Representatives Energy and Commerce that the development of Superintelligent AI would increase the demand for the artificial intelligence industry by 5 % to 5 % by the year.
Referring to the urgent need for energy in all forms (renewable and renewable), he warned that if China achieves this technology earlier, the balance of global power would change in an unpredictable way.
Schmidt also forecast excess consumption of 1 GW by 1 and 2 GW by year 2.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) also predicts that by year 3, the power consumption of artificial intelligence centers in the world will be more than four times as high as the year, while in the United States it will surpass traditional industries such as steel and cement.
The former US Deputy Minister of Energy cited the statistics of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, indicating that data centers will consume 2 % to 5 % of the country’s electricity by year.
Schmidt suggested the use of small modular reactors (SMRs) to address the challenge, but criticized that regulatory barriers have prevented the technology from exploiting this technology and that no SMRs were active in the United States.
