Part 6/10:
By capitalizing on AI advancements, slower communications between Mars and Earth can be mitigated through robust data processing units established on Mars. Wong cites the example of large data centers that can run AI algorithms and relay results back to Earth. He touches upon the costs involved in setting up these operations, attributing a significant portion of investment to the latest GPU technologies and power plant constructions to sustain such ambitious infrastructure.
Creating an environment conducive to AI work and resource manufacturing could lead to lower costs than expected, and he argues that private enterprises will take the lead in funding and operating these projects—similar to how early exploration and colonization were funded by private investors rather than governments.
