Nuclear Stocks Rise as AI Creates Energy Crunch

Analysts say the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology across several industries is increasing energy demand and boosting the value of nuclear stocks. AI is consuming increasingly larger amounts of energy and analysts see new nuclear energy opportunities thanks to the resultant spike in energy demand. Alongside data centers run by tech giants like Google and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), AI technologies are causing electricity demand to soar and could potentially provide opportunities for growth in nuclear stocks, Mizuho research analyst Anthony Crowdell says. Speaking in a recent interview with BNN Bloomberg, Crowdell says that before the recent surge in…

Meta to Launch AI Models with Capability to Check Work by Other Models

Last week, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) announced that it’d be launching new artificial intelligence models from its research division. The new models, which would include an evaluator that’s self-taught, may reduce the involvement of humans in the AI development process. They also support Meta’s objective of achieving advanced machine intelligence while also supporting reproducibility and open science. The launch follows the company’s introduction of the tool in a paper which explained how it depended on the same technique used by the recently rolled out o1 models to make reliable judgments about responses given by a model.
