  • 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.
