As a student and researcher of AI for the past 10 years, I think people have unrealistic ideas about the capabilities of the neural net / machine learning models used in most of the current AI programs. It's already consuming so much power and processing all the data / knowledge on the internet, yet still cannot match the intelligence of a human brain that consumes tiny fraction of that power. And there is a qualitative difference, not just quantative. AI as we know it currently is far from intelligent. There are other models still under research & development, that could one day make AI more efficient, and more natural, closer to human like behaviours. When that happens, demand for electricity, data centres may not be as much as the current crude and brute force machine learning.

Exactly. I don't think it's the amount of money / resources you have to put in AI that makes a difference. OpenAI had fraction of resources as Google, yet it became #1. I think it only takes one or a few clever individuals to come up with a new AI model that completely overturns the current Neural Net / Machine learning paradigm, and make something 100x better and uses 100x less energy.

@callmeal3017 yes I agree.. But too many of the current AI hype believe neural net is the be all the all algorithms which is not. Even better ones are coming and will completely obsolete the current AI as we know. It's like the early days of Internet.. Where is eBay and Yahoo now?
