Elon Musk merges SpaceX with xAI to build solar-powered space data centers, aiming for sustainable AI energy solutions.
Elon Musk has officially merged SpaceX with his AI company xAI, unveiling plans to build solar-powered, space-based data centres. The goal is to tackle the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence while promoting sustainability beyond Earth.
Dr Karen Sutherland from Uni SC explains how these space-based centres could revolutionise AI computation. They explore why Musk believes solar power in orbit can overcome the limitations of Earth-based data centres and reduce environmental impact.
We also dive into the future of AI energy consumption, potential timelines for these orbital data hubs, and the broader implications for sustainable technology. Could this be the next frontier in powering artificial intelligence?
