Well, small modular reactors can be, and should be, one of the solutions to power generation; however, the distribution infrastructure will need to be vastly expanded. Meeting the energy requires for AI and the rest of the ever increasing demand will be analogous to fighting a huge fire with a garden hose. Dr. Copper should do exceedingly well regardless.
And the regulatory complexity and speed are major impediments to the development/building of small modular nuclear reactors.
