Rohan PaulXSam Altman says energy will be AI's biggest cost and abundance constraintAISam Altman said at the ADIPEC opening ceremony in Abu Dhabi that energy is the biggest challenge for AI because "atoms are still atoms." He said progress on efficient models and robots for chip fabs will continue, but the physical power supply will be the dominant factor in AI's cost and abundance.
- Rohan PaulXAltman says AI now mostly outperforms top scientists and performs white-collar work
AISam Altman says at the ADIPEC opening ceremony in Abu Dhabi that AI is now mostly smarter than the smartest scientists, up from mostly not at the start of the year. He adds that AI can now do many parts of white-collar jobs, which he says it mostly could not do at the start of the year. He calls the comparison very approximate because AI performance is spiky and not true in all ways.

AIThe energy cost of each AI query has dropped 1,000x to 100,000x in 3 to 4 years - Sam Altman, at the ADIPEC opening ceremony in Abu Dhabi. "On one hand, the energy per query is falling incredibly dramatically. We're just delivering huge efficiency gains. We're thousands or hundreds of thousands of times maybe more efficient than we were three or four years ago." ---- Full video on "DWS News" YouTube channel, (link in comment)
