AI minutes – "Energy Demands, Medical Breakthroughs, and Human Connection"

In this episode of AI minutes, Lily and Daniel
take you on a journey through the latest and most fascinating
developments in AI – and how it's reshaping our world. Google
plans to build small nuclear reactors to meet the massive energy
demands of its AI systems, while Microsoft is even looking to
restart a decommissioned reactor. What do these energy needs mean
for our future and the environment?


AI is also driving groundbreaking progress in medicine:
Researchers in Zurich have developed a system that can identify
antibiotic-resistant bacteria – a discovery that could
revolutionize infection treatment. But AI doesn’t stop there. In
collaboration with the Scott-Morgan Foundation and Lenovo, a new
AI-powered communication technology has been created to restore
the voices of people with ALS, fostering a sense of personal
connection.


From energy-hungry data centers to life-saving AI innovations and
emotional connections between humans and machines – this episode
explores the opportunities and challenges of AI and asks the
question: How much AI do we want in our lives, and what
responsibility do we bear for its development?
