Energy, AI Bias, & Autonomy
1/ Energy is AI’s Limiting Factor
The future of AI doesn’t just hinge on mode; it hinges on energy. Data centers are hungry, and the race isn’t just about smarter models, but cheaper, cleaner energy to fuel them. Whoever cracks scalable power wins the AI age, as this is the infrastructure that powers the whole AI economy.
As a result of these market forces, prices for energy are skyrocketing.
The AI Revolution is so massive that electricity prices are moving in a literal straight line higher.
Energy is the new limiting factor to AI growth.

These are substantial leaps AI is making in the chronic pain space. And we’re just in the beginning phases of this use case. Many companies are working to solve these chronic issues, including Neuralink!
3/ AI Trained on Biased Data?

Feed AI biased data, and you risk amplifying inequalities at scale. The future of fairness in AI depends on whether we solve this data problem now, before it’s too late. Reddit is a heavily censorship-leaning platform, and moderators have tight control over its speech, so it is definitely not the best idea for that to be the primary data source.
4/ Unmanned Vehicle AI

From battlefields to highways, autonomous AI is rewriting mobility. Unmanned vehicles don’t just promise efficiency; they’re reshaping strategy, logistics, and safety. This is one of the most revolutionary real-world applications of AI, and it’s accelerating fast.
5/ AI Companions Are Taking Over
12 out of 50 top gen AI apps in the world are AI companions and "spicy" chat.

Loneliness is becoming a market, and AI companions are stepping in. From chatbots that never sleep to digital partners that “understand” you, the adoption curve here is steep.
