Here is what Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary wants the Inventor Thomas Alva Edison to help him with

Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary would choose Thomas Alva Edison if had the superpower to bring back a historical entrepreneur to the modern times. However, Kevin would be banking on something big, rather than just inventing "light bulbs" this time.

For those unversed, Edison's ingenuity extended beyond the light bulb. He pioneered electric power generation, and laying the foundation for modern electrical systems, too.

Additionally, he made significant advancements in mass communication, sound recording, and the motion picture industry, forever changing the way people share and experience media. Edison's legacy has been a testament to his innovative spirit and impact on the technological landscape. Therefore, O'Leary wants to collaborate with him in Artificial Intelligence, to develop a robust infrastructure.

The caption of his post further explains his ambitions. It reads:

"He’d be running massive data centers and leading the charge on tech infrastructure. That guy was the original innovator. Big-time."

The Shark Tank judge has been rallying behind AI-based power generation in recent times, calling it the ultimate game changer. He had also been planning to set up the "largest data center" at Grand Prairie, Alberta, along with Frank McCourt.

The project is worth $70 billion and is aimed at creating the largest data center that will generate energy at the lowest cost.
