The AI Race Is Pressuring Utilities to Squeeze More From Europe's Power Grids

WIRED

The AI Race Is Pressuring Utilities to Squeeze More From Europe's Power Grids As data center developers queue up to connect to power grids across Europe, network operators are experimenting with novel ways of clearing room for them. European countries are racing to bring new data centers online as AI labs across the globe continue to demand more compute. The primary limiting factor is energy--and specifically, the ability to move it. Though Europe is on track to generate enough energy, utilities experts say, grid operators broadly lack the infrastructure needed to transport it to where it needs to go. That's throttling grid capacity and, by extension, the number of new power-hungry data centers that can connect without risking blackouts.

Neural Information Processing Systems

Weformulate the decoding process asanoptimization problem which allows for multiple attributesweaimtocontrol tobeeasilyincorporated asdifferentiable constraints to the optimization. By relaxing this discrete optimization to a continuous one, we make use of Lagrangian multipliers and gradient-descent based techniques to generate the desired text.


LearningwithUser-LevelPrivacy

Neural Information Processing Systems

Releasing seemingly innocuous functions of a data set can easily compromise the privacy of individuals, whether the functions are simple counts [35]orcomplexmachine learning models like deep neural networks [52,30].

Neural Information Processing Systems

While theapplication ofdifferential privacy(DP) hasbeen well-studied incrossdevice federated learning (FL), there is a lack of work considering DP and its implications for cross-silo FL, a setting characterized by a limited number of clients each containing many data subjects.
