The golden age AI may consume the equivalent of 'Jakarta 2 cities' by 2030. 🤯

The golden age AI may consume the equivalent of 'Jakarta 2 cities' by 2030. 🤯

Have you ever noticed that the artificial intelligence or AI we use today is not only consuming huge amounts of electricity, but is completely changing the "physical landscape" of our planet? 🌍

A report from the United Nations University estimated that by 2030, global AI infrastructure could require more than 14,500 square kilometers! Imagine, it is twice as large as the entire city of Jakarta (30 million people). 🏙️✨

Why would it take that much space? 🤔

The reason is that the "Hyperscale Data Centers" that process AI is getting smarter and smarter need a lot of space to build these things:

🏢 server building that lines the eyeball.

❄️ Large cooling system

⚡ Electrical substation

🔋 Light backup device

🌐 Network infrastructure

As global demand for AI continues to skyrocket, governments and major tech companies face huge pressures and challenges to balance responsible land use and not damage the environment. ⚖️🌱

This AI revolution is not just created in the "software" world, but is being built on tens of thousands of square kilometers of real land! 💻🏗️

... Read moreจากการติดตามเทรนด์และรายงานต่างๆ เกี่ยวกับการเติบโตของ AI พบว่านอกจากการพัฒนาซอฟต์แวร์และอัลกอริทึมแล้ว นวัตกรรมด้านโครงสร้างพื้นฐานก็มีบทบาทสำคัญไม่แพ้กัน ในฐานะผู้ที่สนใจเรื่องเทคโนโลยี ผมเคยอ่านข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับศูนย์ข้อมูลขนาดใหญ่ (Hyperscale Data Centers) ที่ต้องการพื้นที่และทรัพยากรมหาศาลเพื่อสนับสนุนการประมวลผล AI ซึ่งอุปกรณ์เหล่านี้ต้องการระบบระบายความร้อนและพลังงานสำรองที่เข้มงวดมาก ในชีวิตจริง เมื่อเริ่มเข้าใจถึงปริมาณพื้นที่ที่ AI จะใช้นั้น ส่งผลให้เราต้องตั้งคำถามถึงการพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีนี้ในเชิงนิเวศน์อย่างจริงจัง เพราะพื้นที่ที่ใช้ไปไม่ได้เป็นเพียงพื้นที่กายภาพเท่านั้น แต่ยังรวมถึงผลกระทบต่อแหล่งสิ่งแวดล้อมและระบบนิเวศรอบข้างด้วย เห็นได้ชัดว่าการขยายตัวของ AI ต้องมาพร้อมกับแนวทางการบริหารจัดการที่ทำให้เกิดสมดุล ทั้งนี้ การสร้างศูนย์ข้อมูลที่เป็นมิตรกับสิ่งแวดล้อมและใช้พลังงานหมุนเวียนได้จึงเป็นทางเลือกสำคัญ หากมองในมุมธุรกิจและสังคม AI ก็มีผลกระทบต่อการขยายตัวของตลาด เทคโนโลยี และโครงสร้างพื้นฐานดิจิทัลอย่างมหาศาล ทำให้ภาครัฐและบริษัทเทคโนโลยียักษ์ใหญ่ต้องร่วมมือกันวางแผนอย่างรอบคอบเพื่อใช้ที่ดินและทรัพยากรอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ ป้องกันปัญหาทรัพยากรหมดและส่งเสริมความยั่งยืนในระยะยาว สำหรับผู้ที่สนใจเทคโนโลยี AI และผลกระทบต่อสิ่งแวดล้อม คงไม่ควรมองข้ามประเด็นพื้นที่และทรัพยากรที่ AI ต้องการในอนาคต เพราะนอกจากการพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีให้ฉลาดขึ้นแล้ว เรายังต้องพัฒนาโครงสร้างพื้นฐานที่จะสนับสนุนเทคโนโลยีนี้อย่างรับผิดชอบและยั่งยืนด้วยกันครับ
