AI needs a lot of (electric) energy... so stay competitive (with China), US government is interested...
Comparing with "industrial revolution" is also part of effective marketing...
NVIDIA CEO is an excellent sales/marketing person for AI :)
"while training of AI models takes a lot of energy, using AI models saves a lot of energy"
"AI is not just new Computer Science, it is a new way of doing software,
it is going to create a whole new industry on top of it that produces knowledge."
So "Intelligence revolution" then could be "fourth industrial revolution"

Industrial Revolution - Wikipedia
The Industrial Revolution, sometimes divided into the First Industrial Revolution and Second Industrial Revolution, was a period of global transition of the human economy towards more widespread, efficient and stable manufacturing processes that succeeded the Agricultural Revolution.Beginning in Great Britain, the Industrial Revolution spread to continental Europe and the United States, from around 1760 to about 1820–1840.
The Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution,[1] was a phase of rapid scientific discovery, standardisation, mass production and industrialisation from the late 19th century into the early 20th century.
also known as the Third Industrial Revolution, Computer Age, Digital Age, Silicon Age, New Media Age, Internet Age, or the Digital Revolution[1]) is a historical period that began in the mid-20th century. It is characterized by a rapid shift from traditional industries, as established during the Industrial Revolution, to an economy centered on information technology.
it is mostly developed with private funding,
Of would technology evolve enough to not require huge data centers for training of AI models,
or at least for "inference": using AI models?
