Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

Right.

Okay.

ABC Business Daily

So the government's current target is for 82% of the grid to be renewable, I think, by 2050, right?

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

So how does the demand for AI and the growth in data centers collide with that target, particularly since it's not going to be met?

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

There's no way that it's going to be met.

ABC Business Daily

So will that mean that the use of fossil fuels, coal-fired power generation, is going to have to be extended?

ABC Business Daily

And will data centers, do you think, actually mean that the planet will actually warm more than it was going to?

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

I'm trying to understand exactly what you're saying there.

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

I mean, are you saying that because it's going to be great with AI, it doesn't matter so much if the planet gets too hot?

ABC Business Daily

Anyway, let's just talk about cybersecurity for a minute because a couple of weeks ago, Anthropic was going to release a new version of Claude called Mythos.

But it pulled back because Mythos, it turns out, is some kind of super hacker and it was too dangerous, they decided, and they've given it to a few companies to kind of test and work on.

But it's a bit of a wake-up call about what AI can do to security capabilities

both national security and corporate security and personal security.

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

So what's your role in dealing with this stuff?

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

Do you have a role in running the data centers or is that up to companies like Anthropic to deal with?

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

Yeah, but there will be eventually, I presume.

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

I mean, are we entering some kind of hacking arms race, do you think?

ABC Business Daily
Craig Scroggie on AI’s hunger for power

Yeah, but you didn't answer the question about hacking.

What do you think is going to happen there?
