Seyi of Founder, AsimovGrid

Baseline models from Goldman Sachs suggest $765 billion will be the annual capital expenditure for chips, transmission lines, and cooling equipment for AI. And that this will grow to $1.6 trillion annually by 2031. All for something as ethereal as an AI query.

We talk about the infrastructure of AI, but we need to talk more about the data centers, the power infrastructure to support them, the water, and how we are having to renegotiate and rewrite what constitutes public use and property rights. We are making permanent physical decisions to satisfy the needs of a business model that we are still trying to collectively figure out.
