Navigating the Future of Tech Infrastructure

Amidst AI’s Growing Demands

By Karla Jo Helms, Chief Evangelist and Anti-PR® Strategist, JOTO PR Disruptors™

In an era where technological advancements are evolving at an unprecedented pace, Sam Altman’s
recent spotlight on the need for a staggering $7 trillion to fuel the next generations of AI development,
including GPT models, brings to the forefront a critical conversation on infrastructure innovation—or the
lack thereof. This monumental figure underscores the aspirations for AI’s future and a looming crisis that
could stifle the potential of AI and other emerging technologies.

“This revelation is not just a wake-up call but a clarion call for action,” says Karla Jo Helms, Anti-PR
Strategist and Chief Evangelist for JOTO PR Disruptors. Helms emphasizes that as we venture into GPT-
7, GPT-8, and beyond, the escalating costs, computing power, energy requirements, and the sheer scale
of resources needed present an unprecedented challenge that demands an equally unprecedented
response from innovative companies.
