Prayers up for the family, friends and loved ones of Khyree Jackson. The former Oregon Duck and current Minnesota Vikings Corner Back died in a car accident last night at the age of 24. Gone way too soon. Heartbreaking.
At #EEI2024, our CEO Jensen Huang joined @Edison_Electric Chair, President, and CEO Pedro Pizarro for a conversation about how accelerated computing improves data center energy efficiency, enhances grid resiliency, and reduces energy costs. https://t.co/KQ8ZLCAPBB
Turning to AI safety, Huang noted: “One of the most important areas of safety that doesn’t get enough airtime is functional safety, which is really about building AI that works according to your specifications.
"AI is like raising a human that works to your specification, and it’s just not that easy being a parent,” he continued. “The technology necessary to ensure AI functions according to its desired characteristics needs to ensure there isn’t failure, and, if there is failure, there is safe failure. That entire field of engineering related to AI is in its early stages, and it deserves a lot more energy and attention.”
The public energy, the regulatory, the government energy that is being put into safety is extremely important, he added.
I bring this guy on the show and he starts off with
He’s sitting in this Tesla and say “in my car charging it right now”
Well played @LangReynolds well played.
Bobby Hollis @Microsoft cooling some of the hype around AI growth impact on energy: when move to cloud happened a decade ago, we heard data centers would consume 50% of the grid. But today, it’s 1-2% of global electricity use. #EEInka
#EEInka attendees learned about harnessing the power of #AI from @Prologis experts during the lunch keynote⚡️
"With generative AI, we are able to do things like site selection, optimize renewable energy deployments, enhance customer engagement, and streamline operations in a way that would not have been possible before," said Prologis Chief Technology Officer Sineesh Keshav.
Mary Kipp @PSETalk says meeting state clean energy goals will require acquiring 6,700 MW by 2030, more than PSE has acquired in its 150-year history. #EEInka
Vibhu Kaushik @Prologis says electrification projects at their commercial warehouses typically grow energy use from about 5 kWh per sq. ft. per year to 30 kWh. If they electrify 30% of their buildings by 2030, demand will increase 2.5x. #EEInka
Electric Era is thrilled to welcome @LangReynolds as our VP of Site Implementation!
With a background in finance, Lang has been on a mission to “Electrify Everything” since joining the energy industry in 2014, first with @DukeEnergy where he held the role of Director or Electrification Strategy and most recently with @CircleKStores as Director of Public EV Charging.
When he is not planning and deploying new charging stations, Lang enjoys running, cycling, and attempting to tire out his young children so they sleep at a reasonable hour.

Spotted in CLT: @Fritolay local EV delivery van out delivering zero-emission snacks… defined route short-hail deliveries are a perfect use case for EV ⚡️⚡️⚡️
I opened my first restaurant Jaleo in 1993. A few years later, an arena opened and the @WashWizards & @Capitals became our neighbors. Washington DC accepted them with open arms…just like it accepted me. I hope these teams & @MSE can stay in the city that’s shown so much support.
