Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 23: Europe's AI ambitions are sad. Xu Supei, a Xinhua News Agency reporter, recently "warmed up" social sentiment in Europe: people in many countries took to the streets to protest against energy shortages and high living costs; on the other hand, the willingness to invest "cool down": Because electricity is not guaranteed, overseas technology giants have successively stopped or withdrawn from artificial intelligence (AI) data center projects. Every rise and fall reflects a difficulty that stretches across Europe: energy shortages are both a near-term concern that affects people's livelihood and a distant worry that restricts the development of artificial intelligence. Microsoft has decided to pull out of its data centre project in Lawton, Essex, UK, due to local unavailability of power. The project, once described by former British Prime Minister Stammer as “bringing the UK one step closer to becoming a world leader in artificial intelligence”, is not operating as planned due to delays in grid access and delays in power delivery beyond 2030. The Lawton project is a reflection of the energy bottleneck that cannot be bypassed by the development of artificial intelligence in Europe. Research shows that a hyperscale data center can consume as much power as a medium-sized city, and the data center is a veritable “power eating beast”. This is a particularly painful realization for Europe, which is highly dependent on imports for energy and has a long history of high costs. In summary, the electricity required for the development of artificial intelligence in Europe is facing the dilemma of "unreachable and unaffordable"....
