In the January/February/March 2025 issue of ICT Today: The Official Trade Journal of BICSI, AFL's Seán Adam, Vice President of Market Strategy and Innovation, and Manja Thessin, Market Manager, explore the convergence of energy and data centers - a transformative moment for the ICT industry.
This convergence, driven by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, is pushing existing infrastructure beyond conventional boundaries, and reshaping the very foundations of the digital world.
The current magnitude of energy consumption required by AI is unprecedented. Today’s AI models, growing exponentially in size and complexity, demand massive amounts of computing power and, consequently, energy. This insatiable appetite for power is not just a technical challenge—it is a fundamental issue that is already impacting digital infrastructure and energy systems.
