Key Points
- AI is running out of fresh data to learn from, which could slow improvements.
- Training advanced AI requires huge amounts of electricity and expensive chips, raising costs.
- Future AI tools may improve more slowly or become more expensive for users.
Why It Matters
Slower AI progress could mean fewer job disruptions, but also pricier or less capable tools for everyday tasks.
