22 分钟Welcome to Goldman Sachs Exchanges.
I'm Alison Nathan and I'm here with George Lee, the co-head of our Goldman Sachs Global Institute.
Together we're co-hosting a series of episodes exploring the rise of AI and everything it could mean for companies,
investors and economies.
George, good to see you again.
Great to be here, Alison.
George,
I'm very excited for this conversation
because today we're going to discuss one of the biggest questions about the rise of A.I.
Where will the power come from?
We know that it consumes enormous amounts of power.
That's come up in a lot of our conversations.
And in the first episode of the series,
I think you said it may be one of the biggest constraints to the growth and development of A.I.
Let's dig deeper into that.
Tell us why that is.
There's a temptation to think about AI as this sort of ephemeral phenomenon,
the great chatbot in the sky.
The reality is this is one of the most physical technology infrastructures ever built.
Vast data centers filled with racks of servers and GPUs and other gear.
