Trump Left Shocked By Power-Hungry AI, Tells Elon Musk: 'Requires Twice The Energy That The Country Already Produces'

在星期一的采访中，特斯拉（纳斯达克：TSLA）CEO伊隆·马斯克与前总统唐纳德·特朗普之间，提出了有关人工智能能源消耗的担忧。

"This is shocking to me, but AI requires twice the energy that the country already produces," the former President stated.
“这对我来说很令人震惊，但人工智能需要的能量是国家目前产生能源的两倍，”前总统说。

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.
为什么很重要：共和党总统候选人并不是第一个提出这些担忧的人，而且也不是完全错误。人工智能的能源需求一直是一个关注的话题。
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警告称，如果没有改善能源效率，到2030年，人工智能数据中心可能会占用美国电力的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.
上个月，谷歌的年度环境报告显示，由于人工智能的能源需求，这家科技巨头的排放量在五年时间内增长了近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，并非每个人都对这些担忧表示赞同。2024年6月，微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨否认了人工智能能源消耗的担忧，强调这项技术最终将抵消其高电费。
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，凯西伍德领导的ark Invest的Sam Korus和Nick Grous也曾谈及这个问题，称“各国需要加强自己的竞争力”，但这并不是不可克服的要求。
