The rapid growth of artificial intelligence globally will cause a surge in electricity demands that will initially be met by fossil fuels, at least until nuclear power becomes the obvious solution, according to Dale Klein,

The rise of artificial intelligence will drive a surge in electricity demand that’ll initially be met by fossil fuels, before nuclear replaces that source, the head of a body advising Japan’s top utility said.

Nuclear-power enthusiasts are more optimistic about the future of the technology. They think power demand will continue to increase, thanks in part to AI. And once online, new nuclear reactors will be used to displace older fossil-fuel plants, including those built to address nearer-term electricity needs.

Nuclear energy is rapidly emerging as a choice for powering artificial intelligence (AI) systems due to its ability to provide a stable, high-output source of electricity. As AI technologies continue to grow and require more computational power ...

The convergence of AI and nuclear energy brings unique risks, especially when AI moves from a passive tool to an autonomous participant.

Japan's restart of the Shimane nuclear reactor, coupled with tech giants' increasing interest in nuclear power, signals a global shift towards nuclear energy as a solution to rising energy demands and a sustainable future.
