Episode description
As AI uptake surges, policymakers and industry alike have woken up to the reality that its energy demand will soon outstrip the current number and capacity of data centres. However, there are significant obstacles to addressing this challenge, with concerns about insufficient grid connections, the emissions and energy efficiency of data centres, and opposition from local communities.
This week on Top in Tech, Megan Stagman is joined by Natasha Dixon to discuss these challenges and some of the innovative commercial and policy solutions that will impact the future of AI.
