Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Book DescriptionArtificial intelligence started with a question typed into a box.Then America began building an economy around the answer.Behind the astonishing rise of AI is a physical race involving enormous data centers, advanced computer chips, power plants, electrical grids, billions of dollars in investment, and some of the largest technology companies on Earth.America's AI Gold Rush takes readers behind the screen to reveal what the artificial intelligence boom is really building.Why are technology companies spending so much on computing infrastructure?Why have advanced semiconductors become some of the most important products in the global economy?How much electricity will the next generation of data centers require?Why is nuclear energy receiving renewed attention?What happens to communities when massive computing facilities arrive nearby?And what could all of this mean for American workers?Daniele Rosalez follows the story from the public arrival of generative AI to the race for chips, computing power, data centers, energy, and increasingly capable machines.Along the way, the book examines the companies competing to control the AI economy, the extraordinary infrastructure required to support it, concerns about electricity and water use, the changing employment market, the growing public backlash, and the economic question hanging over the entire boom: Will the enormous investment eventually produce equally enormous value?The history of technology is filled with moments when excitement ran ahead of reality. Some companies survived those periods and changed everyday life. Others disappeared after investors discovered that bold promises were easier to make than lasting profits.Artificial intelligence may produce a similar divide.Some of today's investments could become the foundation of a new American economy. Others may become expensive mistakes.Some occupations may shrink while entirely new forms of work appear.Some communities may welcome the AI infrastructure boom. Others may fight it.And governments will have to make difficult choices about innovation, energy, competition, security, employment, and regulation.Written in clear, accessible language, America's AI Gold Rush avoids both blind enthusiasm and exaggerated fear. Instead, it looks at the money, machines, infrastructure, businesses, workers, and conflicts already shaping the AI era.Because the artificial intelligence age is no longer something waiting in the future.It is being built right now.
