In a recent interview on Tuesday, Musk cautioned that the burgeoning scale of data centers in the tech industry could lead to power supply challenges for artificial intelligence development by mid-2024. He revealed plans for his AI venture, xAI, to construct a gigawatt-scale facility in Memphis, Tennessee, with an anticipated completion timeframe of 6 to 9 months. Notably, according to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, a gigawatt of power generation capacity is comparable to a standard U.S. nuclear power plant, underscoring the substantial energy requirements of AI advancement. Furthermore, Musk emphasized that China's power construction capabilities significantly outpace those of the United States, highlighting a potential advantage in the global AI race.
