Rep. Brett Guthrie calls for AI regulation, data centers to bear costs

Insider Brief As artificial intelligence drives an unprecedented expansion of power-hungry data centers, researchers are increasingly looking beyond graphics processing units (GPUs) for new ways to run machine learning models. One of the latest proposals comes from an emerging field known as thermodynamic computing, where controlled randomness—not deterministic calculations—becomes part of the computation itself. Researchers […]
