Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has become virtually inescapable, and its growth has kickstarted a worldwide AI arms race. But where the US was once at the forefront, it's quickly losing ground to countries like China, because its energy grid cannot support the breakneck pace of innovation. To remain a global AI leader, the federal government needs to make the grid more secure and resilient by addressing three compounding issues.
AI generated summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is driving a global AI arms race, with countries like China gaining ground over the US due to its energy grid's inability to support the rapid pace of AI innovation. To maintain its position as an AI leader, the US government must enhance grid security and resilience to address increasing data center electricity consumption and sustainably meet the growing demand for AI.
Recognizing the urgency, the federal government recently held a Roundtable on US Leadership in AI Infrastructure, followed by the announcement of actions to boost public-private collaboration, including the launch of a Task Force on AI Data Center Infrastructure. Despite these efforts, challenges persist, with cyberattacks on critical infrastructure posing a significant threat to the US's competitiveness in the AI arms race, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and a resilient energy grid.
