The deployment of satellites equipped with localized AI computing capabilities is set to transform the generation of AI bitstreams within the next three years. These satellites, operating from low-latency, sun-synchronous orbits, will beam back only the processed results, significantly reducing costs. With the scarcity of electrical power sources on Earth, this method offers a scalable solution, potentially adding 100 gigawatts of AI capacity annually without operational or maintenance expenses. This is achieved by launching 1 megaton of satellites each year, each with a 100kW capacity, and connecting them via high-bandwidth lasers to the Starlink network.
Looking further ahead, the construction of satellite factories on the Moon could exponentially increase AI capacity. By using a mass driver to launch AI satellites into lunar escape velocity, this approach could scale to over 100 terawatts per year, marking a significant step towards achieving a Kardashev II civilization. This innovative strategy highlights the potential of space-based AI networks to overcome terrestrial power limitations and accelerate technological advancement.
