Geoff Huston

I'm your host, George Michaelson.

This time, I'm talking again to Geoff Huston from APNIC Labs in his regular monthly spot on Ping.

Geoff and I discussed data centers, not their routing architecture or the issues in data transport, but the economics and the social costs of a decision to aggressively deploy artificial intelligence.

By its very nature, the large language models and generative pre-trained transformers of AI, that's the LLM and GPT systems, demand massive investment in computing systems to perform their data analysis and construct the models which are applied to the problems we give them.
