Google has signed a deal to use small nuclear reactors to generate the vast amounts of energy needed to power its artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.The company says the agreement with Kairos Power will see it start using the first reactor this decade and bring more online by 2035.
Yeah I don’t know enough about the technologies involved to have an informed opinion but solutions involving nuclear always seem like this…
“Just let us keep doing what we’re doing while we invent a new technology that will solve all our problems.”
Obviously, the answer is… we absolutely should invent this new technology but while we’re doing that we can transition to renewables and avoid grifts that rely on absurd energy usage like crypto and AI.
