People haven't figured out yet that AI makes EVERYTHING more efficient. The man who won the Nobel Prize just told the world that AI is not the energy crisis, it is the cure for it. Everyone has been screaming about how much electricity AI consumes, the data centers, the training runs, the billions of queries every single day. Hassabis just said AI will extract 30 to 40 percent more efficiency out of national power grids, grids that, right now, operate at only 30 percent of their total capacity according to Stanford researchers. That means the grids we already built are massively underused, and AI is the key to unlocking what is already there. But that is the smallest part of what he is saying. He is saying AI will crack nuclear fusion, the energy source that has been 30 years away for the last 60 years and DeepMind is already working with Commonwealth Fusion in the US to help AI contain plasma inside fusion reactors. His personal mission is to use AI to discover a room-temperature superconductor, a material that would allow electricity to travel with zero loss, something physics has never been able to deliver. The implications of that alone would reshape the entire global economy overnight. He is also saying AI will design next-generation batteries and build the best climate modeling systems humanity has ever had, using them to figure out exactly where the planet is breaking down. Think about what this means, the thing everyone is blaming for the energy crisis is the same thing being bet on to end it forever. [Translated from EN to English]
