Episode 6: AI's Energy Crisis

How can we build smarter AI without burning the planet? In this episode, we dive into the energy crisis at the heart of today’s AI with Subutai Ahmad, CTO of Numenta.

While current AI models guzzle power like data-hungry beasts, the human brain runs on just 20 watts—about the energy of a light bulb. Why are we still using outdated 1950s neuron models when neuroscience has uncovered so much more?

Subutai makes the case for breaking free from brute-force GPUs, embracing brain-inspired designs, and rethinking both our algorithms and hardware from the ground up. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on how biology might hold the key to unlocking radically efficient, trustworthy AI for everyone.
