Artificial intelligence has been a major factor in the paradigm shift in the computer industry during the last few years. When the topic comes up, people immediately think of Microsoft and OpenAI, particularly in light of the former’s multibillion-dollar investment to prolong their collaboration. Both businesses have indeed accomplished amazing things. While we can only speculate as to how much more may be accomplished if both businesses maintain utilizing AI to the fullest extent possible, there is a serious problem with the resources needed to keep the momentum going. And that’s where Microsoft is eyeing shifting towards Nuclear Energy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It appears that Microsoft has realized this problem, and the business is now focusing on nuclear power, as per a recent Wall Street Journal<\/a> article. The excessive demands and needs of AI are nothing new to us, particularly about the amount of water and power it uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst local water supply problems, Windows Copilot and ChatGPT may use enough electricity by 2027 to power a small country for a year. It may surprise you to learn that each time you ask a question, Microsoft and OpenAI utilize as much cooling energy equivalent to a bottle of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft’s investigation into a different power source for its AI projects will enable the business to fully explore the potential of the technology while also making sure that it can maintain the energy needed to accomplish this and cut down on carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it’s said that Microsoft is training LLMs right now to expedite the nuclear project regulatory procedure. Microsoft will have unrestricted access to nuclear energy to power its AI programs if it can pull off this accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running Cost & Agreements With Open AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To “maintain the data centers that house the Microsoft Cloud and AI infrastructure,” Microsoft looks to be focusing on utilizing microreactors and Small Modular Reactors, which are less expensive to build and run than bigger nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial intelligence models require a massive amount of processing power to run; analyses show that ChatGPT could cost up to $700,000 a day to run because of the high server costs. According to the job description, Microsoft sees nuclear energy as a workable way to meet this growing energy demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is known that Microsoft and OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, struck a $10 billion deal under which Microsoft supplied cloud services to enable OpenAI’s models to function. Additionally, Microsoft introduced an AI-powered search tool earlier this year by integrating OpenAI’s technology into its Bing search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Why Nuclear Energy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To put it simply, nuclear energy is just another name for energy derived from atoms. A large amount of energy found in atoms can be captured and converted into electrical power. Nuclear fission or nuclear fusion are two ways to accomplish this. Generally, superheated radioactive material is mixed with water to create steam plumes, which are then used to power turbines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is frequently promoted as a substitute for conventional fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide, as the main byproduct of nuclear power generation is water vapor. Some nations, though, are dubious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
