In an exclusive interview, the CEO explained the upsides and downsides of Big Tech investments in nuclear power.

Microsoft, Amazon and Google have all struck deals this year with developers of atomic power, which they argue can provide the reliable 24-hour low-carbon energy to power their data centres — and keep their valuations soaring on the strength of their AI ambitions.

Nuclear energy could be the long-term solution for the energy demands of AI. In the short-term, though, AI companies may turn to oil and gas.

The topic of energy is rapidly becoming central to the conversation around AI. AI is increasingly helping power suppliers deal with its own increasing demand.

The NANO Nuclear-Everstar collaboration, which was announced in July 2024, has already produced an advanced AI-driven compliance solution, designed to simplify and streamline NANO’s regulatory processes, marking an important step forward in both companies’ commitment to efficiency and safety in nuclear power.

In the US, demand for power from AI data centers is skyrocketing, driven by the intensive computational requirements of its models. Will it let up?

The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and nuclear energy is a critical area of research, especially within the innovation economy. As AI applications expand, they require significant energy resources;

Amazon is not the only big tech firm exploring nuclear power as a source for powering their AI development, as Google (Alphabet Inc) GOOG * recently announced a deal with Kairos Power, an advanced nuclear energy company focused on developing affordable, safe and flexible nuclear reactors using molten salt technology.

Major technological corporations, such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, are investing significantly in nuclear energy to fulfil AI Goals

According to the September updated edition of the report, "Pathways to Commercial Liftoff Advanced Nuclear" by the US Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S.

Nuclear energy is seen as a cleaner and carbon-free alternative to fossil fuels, with small nuclear reactors providing safe and round-the-clock power.

NANO Nuclear Energy (NNE) announced the successful three-month pilot project aimed at addressing regulatory challenges in the nuclear sector
