Holding onto what I've got
I have mentioned Google a few times (aka Alphabet Inc) and more and more think they are one to watch as they would benefit from at least testing Akida and more using it, anyone of the ones below is a possibility,

What they own
Waymo - Self driving car
Wing - Drone delivery
Android/Pixel - mobile devices and watches
Fitbit - watches

Gartner: Power Shortages Could Limit 40% of AI Data Centres​

Gartner: 40% of existing AI data centres will be constrained by power availability by 2027
According to Gartner, power shortages will restrict 40% of AI data centres by 2027, suggesting Gen AI energy consumption will exceed power utility capacity
AI and generative AI (Gen AI) continue to drive rapid increases in electricity consumption, inevitably putting larger pressures on data centres to deliver.
New predictions from Gartner suggest that such rapid growth in data centre energy consumption to accommodate Gen AI will exceed the capacity of power utilities. The organisation suggests that data centre forecasts over the next two years could reach as high as 160% growth.
“The explosive growth of new hyperscale data centres to implement Gen AI is creating an insatiable demand for power that will exceed the ability of utility providers to expand their capacity fast enough.”
Bob Johnson, VP Analyst at Gartner
Likewise, Gartner suggests that 40% of existing AI data centres will be operationally constrained by power availability by 2027.
AI has been cited as the critical cause of such a power surge in the data centre sector. Given that the technology consumes significant levels of power and energy in order to run, it is expected that power demands will continue to rise as a result, putting strain on the grid.

Confronting the rise of AI​

Gartner estimates the power required for data centres to run incremental AI-optimised servers will reach 500 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year in 2027, which is 2.6 times the level in 2023 as evidenced below.
“The explosive growth of new hyperscale data centres to implement Gen AI is creating an insatiable demand for power that will exceed the ability of utility providers to expand their capacity fast enough,” says Bob Johnson, VP Analyst at Gartner. “In turn, this threatens to disrupt energy availability and lead to shortages, which will limit the growth of new data centres for GenAI and other uses from 2026.”

He adds: “New larger data centres are being planned to handle the huge amounts of data needed to train and implement the rapidly expanding large language models (LLMs) that underpin GenAI applications.
“However, short-term power shortages are likely to continue for years as new power transmission, distribution and generation capacity could take years to come online and won’t alleviate current problems.”
Data centres already account for roughly 1-1.5% of the total global electricity consumption in 2022, ahead of AI interest spiking. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has indicated in 2024 already that global electricity demand could double by 2026, suggesting an urgent need for data centres to confront their energy usage.
Such an overwhelming demand for AI could also lead to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from data centres increasing over the next decade. As a result, data centres must ensure they are harnessing AI in a way that doesn’t threaten their sustainability targets.
In the near future, Gartner suggests that the number of new data centres and the growth of Gen AI will be governed by the availability of power to run them. In response, Gartner recommends organisations determine the risks potential power shortages will have on all products and services.
Inevitably, power shortages will lead to an increase in the price of power - which Gartner says will also increase the costs of operating LLMs.

Bob Johnson, VP Analyst at Gartner
“Significant power users are working with major producers to secure long-term guaranteed sources of power independent of other grid demands,” Bob explains. “In the meantime, the cost of power to operate data centres will increase significantly as operators use economic leverage to secure needed power. These costs will be passed on to AI/Gen AI product and service providers as well.”

Evaluating future plans to save sustainability goals​

Data centres require 24/7 power availability, with Gartner noting that renewable sources of power like wind or solar cannot provide without a form of alternative supply.
The firm suggests that reliable 24/7 power can only be generated by either hydroelectric, fossil fuel or nuclear power plants. Therefore, in response to rising emissions, Gartner suggests that businesses must evaluate future plans and anticipate higher power costs.

This is in conjunction with negotiating long-term contracts for data centre services at reasonable rates for power, the organisation explains.
Likewise, Gartner notes that businesses should be factoring in significant cost increases when developing plans for new products and services, whilst also looking for alternative approaches to innovation that require less power.

Through its research, Gartner has indicated that zero-carbon sustainability goals will be negatively affected by short-term solutions to provide more power. As surging demand is forcing suppliers to increase production, some have kept fossil fuel plants that had been scheduled for retirement in operation beyond their scheduled shutdown.
The company recommends organisations re-evaluate sustainability goals relating to CO2 emissions in light of future data centre requirements and power sources for the next few years.
When developing Gen AI applications, Gartner suggests that operators should focus on using a minimum amount of computing power and look at the viability of other options such as edge computing and smaller language models.
“The reality is that increased data centre use will lead to increased CO2 emissions to generate the needed power in the short-term,” Bob says. “This, in turn, will make it more difficult for data centre operators and their customers to meet aggressive sustainability goals relating to CO2 emissions.”

Hi MrR,

That's an amazingly quick pick up. Only the abstract available on Espacenet at the moment.



Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for recognizing speech using a spiking neural network acoustic model implemented on a neuromorphic processor are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, a trained acoustic model implemented as a spiking neural network (SNN) on a neuromorphic processor of a client device, a set of feature coefficients that represent acoustic energy of input audio received from a microphone communicably coupled to the client device. The acoustic model is trained to predict speech sounds based on input feature coefficients. The acoustic model generates output data indicating predicted speech sounds corresponding to the set of feature coefficients that represent the input audio received from the microphone. The neuromorphic processor updates one or more parameters of the acoustic model using one or more learning rules and the predicted speech sounds of
the output data
.

Now that smells like a duck ...

Hey Bravo,

Nice post !.......exactly the point Peter made when he was the acting Interim CEO, he produced at report regarding energy demand that was
going to be needed to "keep the lights on" at ALL Data Centre's, Server Farms and Ice Caves :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Peter promoted "Beneficial AI" and "Green AI" and while we still adhere to those titles, we added "Essential AI"...all part of the suggestive
sales tool to promote what Brainchip truly stands for, to make this planet a better place for ALL, a selfless company attempting to make
disruptive change for the better.

I'm now back in New Zealand for 6-8 months, or maybe longer, just see how things play out.

I have to share this, I've only been at my property for 2 days and this afternoon I run into a couple of guys wondering around the area that
I co own, I asked if I could help them with something, well as the conversation expanded I got around to my favourite subject, that being AI
and Brainchip, these guys were IT specialists checking an issue with the Chinese owners Wi-Fi, anyway, one of the guys knew about Brainchip!

I asked, are you a shareholder ? answer no...I asked, how did you hear about us then ?...I read about it on the internet.....THEN he tells me
his friend works for Mercedes Benz!...my ears prick up and I say, what, in Germany ? and he replies, no in Wellington, he is in the Corporate
Division.

I couldn't help myself, did he say anything about Brainchip?.....answer no, but did say they (Mercedes) are definitely working with AI with Lidar
etc....which we already knew....but what are the odds, been here 2 days, some random person I have never met before knows of Brainchip,
isn't a current shareholder and blurts out the words Mercedes Benz....time to visit the Casino in Auckland (joke) :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
