当地时间11月19日，在华盛顿特区举行的美沙投资论坛（Saudi Investment Forum）上，特斯拉CEO埃隆 ·马斯克和英伟达CEO黄仁勋进行了一次难得的同台对话，就AI与太空的未来等话题展开了讨论。 就AI工厂建设的必要性，黄仁勋则表示，过去的计算是基于检索的计算，例如一个故事、一个数字广 告都是由人预先构建，再用计算机完成，但今天软件是实时生成的，基于上下文和提示生成独特内容， 所以需要全世界的AI工厂来实时生成内容。他还表示，英伟达还在沙特建造超级计算机来模拟量子计 算。 论坛还聊到了太空中的人工智能。马斯克认为，如果文明延续下去，那么太空中的人工智能是不可避免 的。 "一旦你意识到，你将太阳能量的多少百分比转化为有用的功，那么太空的重要性就变得显而易见，地 球只接收到大约二十亿分之一的太阳能量。"因此，马斯克认为，如果想要拥有比地球可能产生的能量 多一百万倍的能量，就必须进入太空。 AI在太空中的电力成本效益将大大优于地面上。马斯克称，每年200或300吉瓦的AI计算在地球上很难 做到，不可能为满足这种规模的计算建造发电厂，如果提高到每年1太瓦那在地球上更是不可能的，因 此必须在太空中做这 ...
