Worldwide data center capacity will increase by 46% over the next two years, equivalent to a jump of almost 21,000 megawatts, as demand surges.

The AI Infrastructure directive addresses energy and permitting issues associated with data centers and the computational demands of running AI applications, requiring the Department of Energy to issue RFPs.

The growth in electricity demand from data centers is threatening the South's transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy. Current projections indicate an increase in reliance on fossil fuels, further raising carbon emissions.

The number of customers using Arm-based chips in data centers has grown to 70,000, a 14-fold increase since 2021, with a significant impact from generative AI.

AI data centers' carbon emissions are expected to surge 11-fold by 2030, with predictions that these centers will consume 612 terawatt-hours of electricity, driving a 3.4% increase in global carbon emissions.

"Bitrise plans to invest $3 million to create data centers in the EU that meet sovereign cloud requirements, ensuring that data used in app development doesn't leave the region."

This puts CISPE at odds with other sectors that are also competing for limited water resources.

"As utilities race to meet skyrocketing demand from AI and cloud computing, they're building new infrastructure and raising rates, often without transparency or public input."

PCIe technology has served as the high-bandwidth, low-latency IO interconnect of choice for over two decades and we are pleased to announce the release of the PCIe 7.0 specification.

Emissions from four leading AI companies increased by 150% since 2020, prompting concerns over the energy demands and carbon footprint associated with emerging AI technologies.

"We are entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution - and datacenters sit at its core," he told The Register. "This is the most significant wave of infrastructure development in modern history."

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving a sharp rise in global electricity demand, with electricity use by data centres increasing four times faster than the overall rise in electricity consumption.

The frantic race to boot up energy-hungry data centers has led many developers to plan their own gas-fired power plants rather than wait for connection to the state's public grid.

Through close collaboration between its sustainability, engineering, and design teams, Digital Realty is working to reduce carbon emissions by sourcing more renewable energy.

The rapid pace of constructing data centers could have significant consequences for commercial real estate, particularly given the shift away from traditional office settings.

"As artificial intelligence continues to rise in prominence, the demand for additional data center capacity becomes increasingly pressing, indicating a surge in electricity consumption across the sector."

We reflect the challenges the world must overcome to develop and use greener concrete, steel, fuels, and chips, the biggest drivers of our Scope 3 challenges.

Steady workloads are great to stay in house, but game-changing innovation like AI requires the flexibility and elasticity of the public cloud.
