Take a good look at this photo! Just two hours ago in Paris, an important meeting took place that could shed light on the future of AI development. French President Emmanuel Macron met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a seemingly unexpected pairing, but one that could have big implications for the world of AI and technology.
This is France’s bid to compete with the US’s Stargate superclusters. With France’s nuclear energy advantage, it’s poised to be a major competitor in the global AI space.
This gathering was no accident. On one side, we have France, one of the most powerful nuclear nations, and on the other, OpenAI, a leader in AI development in desperate need of the energy resources to fuel its growing computational demands.
This inefficiency is so significant that Sam Altman’s planned 5GW Stargate AI superclusters could easily be powered by the energy wasted every year in France.
But, it looks like President Macron is aware of this and doesn’t want to continue this inefficiency any longer.
