GLONGHUI, May 20 | Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, said BlackRock is discussing with governments how to fund key investments to support artificial intelligence, including increasing electricity supply. Speaking remotely at the G7 B7 Business Group meeting in Rome, Fink said, “These AI data centers will require more electricity than we can imagine. The G-7 does not have enough electricity, which will present a real competitive challenge for all countries”. According to Fink, data centers are likely to be built where electricity supply is cheaper, which increases the demand for state subsidies in regions where energy costs are not competitive. BlackRock estimates that investments to build data centers and chip factories that support artificial intelligence technology and power them require the participation of private investors, which could be a huge opportunity for pension funds and insurance companies.
