Washington State University Assistant Professor Matthew E. Taylor joins us and discusses the resourcing of carbon-based and digital assets, "right now there's lots of well-paid, well trained technicians who can go and set up your data center for you, but they're humans. They're only human. They're going to be suboptimal. Instead, you can have a reinforcement learning algorithm go and tweak things so that you're more efficient and you can save lots of money. You can also save lots of energy, which is better for the environment."
