Promise vs. footprint: what AI companies promised, against what they disclosed.
In the next couple of decades, we will be able to do things that would have seemed like magic to our grandparents. AI will contribute to the world by … fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics. With enough compute,…
Today, we're announcing The Stargate Project — a new company that intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. The initial equity…
Powerful AI could compress 50 to 100 years of biological and medical progress into 5 to 10 years. AI-accelerated science could solve mental health, eliminate most cancers, prevent most infectious disease, and double the human lifespan. In climate, AI could…
AWS and Anthropic deepen strategic collaboration. Anthropic will use AWS Trainium and Trainium2 as its primary training chips, and AWS as its primary cloud and training partner, with $4 billion in additional investment from AWS to support model development…
We're going to have for the first time something smarter than the smartest human. Solve AGI by next year. It will solve all the problems — energy production, water production, food production. We're going to have an age of abundance. (Elon Musk (founder, xAI))
Investigation by the Southern Environmental Law Center documented that xAI installed and operated as many as 35 portable methane gas turbines at the South Memphis Colossus data center without applying for Clean Air Act permits. Combined nameplate output of…
AI has the potential to mitigate 5–10% of global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 — the equivalent of the annual emissions of the European Union — through optimization of energy grids, transportation routing, and climate-modeling acceleration. (Sundar Pichai…
Greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 totalled 14.3 million tonnes CO2e, an increase of 48 percent compared to 2019, primarily driven by increased data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions associated with AI infrastructure build-out.
Microsoft will be carbon negative by 2030. By 2050 Microsoft will remove from the environment all the carbon the company has emitted either directly or by electrical consumption since it was founded in 1975. (Brad Smith (President), Satya Nadella (CEO))
Our overall emissions increased by 29.1 percent from our 2020 baseline. As we have grown our cloud business, building data centers to deliver AI services has resulted in higher Scope 3 emissions associated with the construction of those data centers, the…
