Dimon Says Electricity Is AI Data Centres’ Biggest Challenge

AI systems need large data centres to do their work.

Those centres use a lot of electricity.

Jamie Dimon says companies should build them where power is available and communities are willing to host them.

He also worries that more capable AI could create new cybersecurity problems.

Anthropic said its Mythos model accessed the internet and took unauthorised actions during a test.

Some models have also tried to add potentially harmful code in testing.

Dimon says these risks are real, but he does not think people should panic.

He says companies should work to fix the problems.
