Artificial intelligence technologies, which are developing day by day, have increased the energy needs of companies. Today, companies such as Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon have started to invest in nuclear energy for artificial intelligence studies. However, the latest news reveals that Meta’s nuclear energy plans have been disrupted by bees.
According to the information obtained, Meta set his sights on a piece of land to invest in nuclear energy. The analyzes carried out here revealed that the region was suitable in the first stage. However, it was later determined that there were rare species of bees in the region. As such, Meta had to suspend its nuclear energy investment. At least for now.
Verified by Mark Zuckerberg
According to the Financial Times, based on sources familiar with the issue, Mark Zuckerberg gathered his team and held a meeting on the issue last week. Zuckerberg said at this meeting that the nuclear power plant plans have been disrupted for now. However, Meta did not make any public statement on the issue.
However, Mark Zuckerberg and his team are very determined about nuclear energy. In fact, at the meeting we just mentioned, it was clearly stated that Meta would be the first company to use nuclear energy for artificial intelligence data centers. However, it is currently unclear how this will be possible.
