Part 4/7:
Operating an AI company entails significant financial risks. Maintaining extensive data centers and employing advanced computational power translates to high expenditures. For instance, the model behind ChatGPT runs on a vast number of NVIDIA chips, each costing around $30,000. Moreover, ChatGPT consumes electricity comparable to that used by 17,000 households daily, positioning operational costs at the forefront of AI businesses.
Legal challenges compound these obligations. Media entities like the "New York Times" and Getty Images have begun to sue AI companies for unauthorized use of their content in model training. Furthermore, governmental restrictions on chip distribution potentially limit market opportunities for AI companies, thus escalating operational expenses.
