While the industry has been putting in place more sustainable operating practices, they don't touch the eco-friendly benefits offered by another idea: data centers that operate in space. A new European study has found that not only is this concept technically feasible, but it could also eventually deliver a significant return on investment.
In context: Artificial general intelligence (AGI) refers to AI capable of expressing human-like or even super-human reasoning abilities. Also known as "strong AI," AGI would sweep away any "weak" AI currently available on the market and berth a new era of human history.
