India's AI vision calls for 80 exaflops of AI infrastructure build
India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has unveiled an ambitious plan to enhance the nation's AI capabilities. The proposal aims to build a formidable computing infrastructure, comprising high-end compute, inference arm, and edge compute, with a total of 80 exaflops of power. This infrastructure is set to revolutionize AI training and inference in India. Additionally, plans for the India Datasets Platform (IDP) highlight the importance of aggregating and utilizing data for various applications. Despite challenges, this vision positions India for a significant leap in AI innovation.

Artificial Intelligence Is Seeping Into All of Your Gadgets
Artificial intelligence abounds, and it’s only making its way deeper and deeper into every scrap of technology we use. Generative AI in particular is an invention that seems destined to follow us far into the future, so it’s best to try to make sense of where it’s headed. In a recent episode of the Business Wars podcast, Michael Calore and Lauren Goode from WIRED magazine joined the host to discuss the rapid rise of AI in recent years. They explored the future of artificial intelligence and whether the portrayal of AI in movies accurately predicts what's to come. The conversation offered valuable insights into the current state of AI and its potential impact on various industries.

AI's electricity use is spiking so fast it'll soon use as much power as an entire country
AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard consume an astronomical amount of electricity and water — or, more precisely, the massive data centers that power them do. In a recent analysis published in the journal Joule, data scientist Alex de Vries at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands found that by 2027, these server farms could use anywhere between 85 to 134 terawatt hours of energy per year. That's roughly on par with the annual electricity use of Argentina, the Netherlands, or Sweden, as the New York Times points out, or 0.5 percent of the entire globe's energy demands. Sound familiar? The much-lampooned crypto industry spiked past similar power consumption thresholds in recent years. It's a massive carbon footprint that experts say should force us to reconsider the huge investments being made in the AI space — not to mention the eye-wateringly resource-intensive way that tech giants like OpenAI and Google operate.

Analysis: "AI’s $200B Question"
The goal of this analysis is to highlight the gap that we see today. AI hype has finally caught up to the deep learning technology breakthroughs in development since 2017. This is good news. A major CapEx buildout is happening. This should bring AI development costs down dramatically over the long-term. You used to have to buy a server rack to build any application. Now you can use the public clouds at a much lower cost. Likewise, today many AI companies are using a large portion of their venture capital on GPUs. As today’s supply constraints give way to a supply glut, the cost of running AI workloads will come down. This should spur more product development. It should also attract more founders to build in this space.
