Nvidia and EPRI are partnering to use AI to solve electrical grid problems caused by rising power demand from AI itself.
The Open Power AI Consortium, which includes multiple electrical utilities and tech companies, will develop domain-specific AI models to address power industry challenges.
The power industry is facing surging demand from data centers as AI continues to increase the need for computing power.
The consortium aims to explore various solutions, such as shifting non-time-sensitive tasks to low-demand periods, to unlock additional capacity in the electrical grid.
