Quick Glance: OpenAI CEO Supports Solar Power for AI Datacenters
- Exowatt, a new player in the solar energy sector, has been established with financial backing from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and other investors.
- Exowatt's cutting-edge technology allows for the development of solar panels that store energy as heat and convert it into electricity. A key feature is the integration of panels and heat batteries into a single unit.
- The increasing energy demands of datacenters, especially those involved in AI training, pose a significant challenge. Sam Altman raised concerns about energy consumption in January, emphasizing the need for a breakthrough to advance AI.
- Altman's investment in Exowatt was partly driven by his connection with Abraham. This is not the OpenAI CEO's first energy investment. In the short term, more traditional forms of solar and nuclear power will be utilized as Exowatt and other energy companies are still in their early stages.

Quick Glance: Billionaires Profiting from AI 2024
- The AI gold rush has led to a plethora of new billionaires in the sector, as surging values for both public and private companies with ties to AI have skyrocketed.
- Over the past year, tech companies, both new and old, have seen massive share price increases, making the world's tech tycoons even richer and introducing over a dozen new AI billionaires into the Forbes World's Billionaires list.
- Nvidia cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang serves as the poster child for this boom. However, other companies like Super Micro Computer, Advanced Micro Devices, and Cloudflare also benefited from the trend. Privately owned AI companies have also gained momentum, with AI-centric startups alone raising nearly $50 billion in funding last year.
- Major tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet have significantly contributed to financing private AI companies to compete in the AI race. However, it remains to be seen if and when the AI bubble will burst and funding could dry up.
