Humans are EXTREMELY more energy efficient than computers; an adult human operates at something like 100 Watts on average (much less for children, of course), and that covers not only all of our mental processing, but also all of our physical movement, digestion, tissue regeneration/repair, etc. At no point in our evolutionary history have we had the leisure to absorb the vast quantities of energy that AI supercomputers can. I think this probably has a lot to do with why we are so effective at learning on little data; even when large quantities of data are available, it seems we may not have the energy to take it on board. We ignore and forget most of it. Maybe if we made a real effort to develop energy efficient AI, that design limitation would help us develop AI that requires far less training data. |
