Why I built Who Pays for AI

🧾Why this exists

AI growth has traceable resource costs

AI growth requires power, equipment, water, labor and capital. This project identifies supply constraints, traces who pays during capacity expansion and documents the policy or market changes that increase supply.

👤Who maintains it

I review every publication

I lead agentic AI engineering adoption at Antech, a Mars company. In my day job, I build systems where software gathers information, compares sources and drafts work. A named person owns every important decision. I use the same approach here.

This is a personal, independent project. Antech and Mars do not sponsor, review or endorse it.

✓Editorial standards

The same rules apply to every claim

1. A grade can weaken a claim for or against AI.
2. Every evidence page lists primary sources, check dates and the next review date.
3. The site reports the ranges and uncertainty stated by its sources.
4. Software drafts updates. I approve every publication.
5. The site has no ads, sponsors, affiliate links or paywalled methods.
6. Material changes and corrections are dated and kept in the public changelog.
