Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · X前谷歌CEO埃里克·施密特指出，AI发展的真正限制可能并非能源，而是资金。他以每千兆瓦约500亿美元的成本估算为例，指出部署10千兆瓦的AI计算能力将需要高达5000亿美元资本。他认为，全球仅有极少数实体（如中国）有能力承担如此规模的投入。美国凭借其资本市场的优势或可融资实现，而欧洲则难以做到。他强调，资金的可获得性将成为制约AI扩张的关键瓶颈。
Ex Google CEO， Dr. Eric Schmidt： AI may hit a money wall before it hits a power wall.
"The real limit to AI is not energy； it is actually cash. When you add up the cost of these things， if you take round numbers， say $50 billion per gigawatt， then 10 gigawatts is half a trillion dollars.
How many companies， countries， and so forth can hand an industry a trillion dollars of capital？ Very， very few. The Chinese could certainly do it. I do not know if they are doing it， but I am going to try to find out.
In America， there are people who hope that is going to happen. It is interesting that you can finance these things because the brilliance of the American capital market allows us to borrow that kind of money. For example， the Europeans cannot do this， which they are sort of sore about."
