This is arguably a fundamentally hard problem for computer architecture, but efforts towards open source hardware (eg. Her current work focuses on hardware/software co-design for extremely large-scale deep learning training. Lena Olson is a Software Engineer at Google. . gem5 ) are baby steps towards this goal.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Engineering is the discipline of designing solutions under specific constraints. Organisations had all learned the lessons of Google and FaceBook's adventures in Ajax.

Such policies would be designed to mitigate legal problems and require regulatory compliance. That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. How will AI adopters react when the cost of renting infrastructure from AWS, Microsoft, or Google rises? of nonusers.
