What's the biggest bottleneck to building better AI? It's no longer the lack of computing resources — it's generating enough energy to feed itFor decades, AI was held back by slow, expensive computers. Today, the problem is simpler, but harder to fix: finding enough reliable electricity to keep data centers running as AI spreads into everyday life.
