US Energy Can't Keep Up with the Rapid Growth of AI

 A $100 Billion Treasure Under These Five Deserts!

Researchers estimate that the amount of energy produced in the United States cannot keep up with the growing demand from artificial intelligence alone. However, a $100 billion treasure spread across five American deserts could solve this dilemma, according to a report by EcoPortal magazine, reviewed by Al Arabiya Business.

The deserts in the American South, spanning California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, could theoretically generate more than 1,200 gigawatts of solar energy. This is enough, or more, to power the entire country several times over, thanks to their abundant sunshine and open terrain.

These deserts could provide a breeding ground for artificial intelligence, the demand for which is rapidly growing. Artificial intelligence is more than just an internet engine; it is the creation of computer programs capable of performing operations such as sensing, learning, reasoning, and decision-making, which typically require human intelligence.

However, AI isn't self-sufficient, and it requires not only ideas to power it, but also massive amounts of energy. Researchers claim that the US power grid cannot keep up with the rapid growth and increasing demand for AI, which is driving developers to build new data centers. Sun-drenched deserts are a solution to this problem.

According to an online research report by Xatakoan, the report confirms the existence of so-called "super-capacity developers," technology companies that operate global cloud computing infrastructure. These data centers play a critical role in the development of AI, data services, and digital services. Therefore, the term "super-capacity developer" refers to the rapid and executable expansion of these centers on demand.

For his part, US President Donald Trump approved a $100 billion initiative to build data centers to support AI, according to Neutron Bytes.

To realize this dream, three companies—OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank—joined forces to invest in AI centers in America and established a company called Stargate. Neutron Bytes says, "Stargate could invest up to $500 billion over four years."

Despite the technology's readiness, big tech companies are still reluctant to change the status quo. Three main issues contribute to this hesitation. AI training is a growing field; it's a recent phenomenon, and it may not be easy to build a curriculum around it, given the rapid changes occurring daily.

Because their goal is to ensure reliability, data center designers have long been reluctant to disconnect from the grid. They can't tolerate a simple power outage.

All the factors, such as fear and hesitation, can be resolved as long as there is a detailed understanding of how things will proceed. All the obstacles developers would face, such as funding and government approval, have already been resolved. Furthermore, this technology can be built quickly, without the 

need to restart any type of power or nuclear reactors. Ecoportal described it as the greatest treasure since the Declaration of Independence. The sun is shining, clean energy is plentiful, businesses will benefit, and most importantly, it's easy to produce on a large scale.
