Trump Left Shocked By Power-Hungry AI, Tells Elon Musk: 'Requires Twice The Energy That The Country Already Produces'
During the interview on Monday between Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump, the concerns about AI's significant energy consumption were raised.
在星期一的採訪中，特斯拉（納斯達克：TSLA）CEO伊隆·馬斯克與前總統唐納德·特朗普之間，提出了有關人工智能能源消耗的擔憂。
What Happened: While speaking with Musk Trump voiced his concerns about AI's substantial electricity demands. He recognized Musk's passion for AI but noted his surprise by the technology's high energy requirements.
發生了什麼：當特朗普與馬斯克交談時，特朗普表達了他對人工智能巨大電費的擔憂。他認可馬斯克對人工智能的熱情，但注意到這項技術的高能源需求令人驚訝。
"This is shocking to me, but AI requires twice the energy that the country already produces," the former President stated.
「這對我來說很令人震驚，但人工智能需要的能量是國家目前產生能源的兩倍，」前總統說。
Adding, "You are gonna need tremendous amounts of electricity, like almost double what we produce now for the whole country, if you can believe it."
此外，「你將會需要大量的電力，幾乎是我們現在爲整個國家生產的電力翻倍的數字，如果你能相信的話。」

Why It Matters: The Republican presidential candidate wasn't off the mark or the first person to raise such concerns. The energy demands of AI have been a topic of concern for some time.
爲什麼很重要：共和黨總統候選人並不是第一個提出這些擔憂的人，而且也不是完全錯誤。人工智能的能源需求一直是一個關注的話題。
In April this year, Arm Holdings plc. CEO Rene Haas warned that without improved energy efficiency AI data centers could consume up to 25% of U.S. power by 2030.
今年四月，Arm Holdings plc.的CEO Rene Haas警告稱，如果沒有改善能源效率，到2030年，人工智能數據中心可能會佔用美國電力的25%。
Last month, Google's annual environmental report revealed that the tech giant's emissions had risen by nearly 50% in five years due to the energy demands of AI.
上個月，谷歌的年度環境報告顯示，由於人工智能的能源需求，這家科技巨頭的排放量在五年時間內增長了近50%。
However, not everyone shares these concerns. In June 2024, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates dismissed worries about AI's energy consumption, asserting that the technology would ultimately offset its high electricity usage.
然而，並非每個人都對這些擔憂表示贊同。2024年6月，微軟聯合創始人比爾·蓋茨否認了人工智能能源消耗的擔憂，強調這項技術最終將抵消其高電費。
Previously, Cathie Wood-led ARK Invest's Sam Korus and Nick Grous also addressed the issue stating "countries need to pick their game up," but the requirement shouldn't be insurmountable.
此前，凱西伍德領導的ark Invest的Sam Korus和Nick Grous也曾談及這個問題，稱「各國需要加強自己的競爭力」，但這並不是不可克服的要求。
