According to a Goldman Sachs report, the demand for electrical power in the United States will have grown by approximately 2.4% by 2030.
Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Microsoft attended a meeting at the White House on Sept. 12 to discuss building robust energy infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing needs.
Representatives for the companies — including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei — argued that America’s aging energy infrastructure could not adequately service the massive energy needs of the budding AI sector.
Investment banking firm Goldman Sachs estimates AI will have seen a “160% increase in data center power demand” by 2030. Spokespeople for OpenAI asserted that building AI-grade energy infrastructure will create an influx of jobs inside the United States.
