is that what AI does and how it learns to think, all right?

In fact, today, when I gave you the percentage numbers that Rahman had to have in order to get to the percentage she got to of the mail ballot voting, I actually just put that question in AI and it calculated for me and it gave me the formula.

So what happens is, is that

There's all this data.

Every time we're on the computer, this data is being collected, all right, about our own preferences, things like that.

And they use that data to then analyze to come up with answers or to answer your Google inquiry or your AI inquiry or, again, your shopping, whatever it is you want to buy and what have you.

So that...

is all this data, and it's more and more and more.

And then they're using it.

Computing power is also required to help them to quickly, in a few seconds, go through essentially the entire internet to come up with the answer to the question.

And that is just a huge amount of computing that has to happen.

Was it dots and zeros or dashes and zeros is really what's behind all the code.

And they convert all those into what is logical things that you and I would understand.

And we're going to continue to need these data centers unless there is a breakthrough in computing that allows them not to be needed anymore.

Most communities are raising concerns again, as I said, about energy, water, environmental, and they are really huge facilities.

But they were also used before AI, but AI has just expanded the need for them.

It's a much, much heavier demand.

And you and I use it every week.

You use AI whether you know it or not.

When you ask a question of your computer or when you're looking for something, it's using AI to help find that answer as quickly as possible for you.
