CoinWorld News reports that Brockman, OpenAI’s co-founder and president, said during testimony in court on Tuesday that it expects this year’s spending on computing power to reach $50 billion. As the company develops more advanced AI models and rolls them out to a wider user base, its computing costs have surged from about $30 million in 2017 to several tens of billions of dollars this year. He made the statement on the second day of OpenAI’s highly publicized legal showdown with Musk, in which OpenAI faced off against Musk in court. OpenAI previously said it has committed to investing more than $1.4 trillion in AI infrastructure over the coming years. In February this year, OpenAI told investors that it plans to spend about $600 billion by 2030.
