In the fast-paced world of technology, one revolutionary force has been reshaping industries and transforming the way we interact with machines – Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In September’s issue of Inside Networks, they posed a pressing question:
How is the rapid development and uptake of AI affecting the data centre sector?
Will the facilities that are currently operating be able to support this growth for much longer, and how can data centres be designed, built and operated to accommodate the computing power demands AI puts on them in the future?
Amongst a panel of industry experts, Future-tech’s Head of Technical Due Diligence Mark Acton sheds light on the dynamic landscape of data centres and their role in supporting the exponential growth of AI applications. Read an extract from Mark here:
“With the attention gained by ChatGPT etc. performing impressive creative tasks, it is easy to overlook the significant amounts of power needed to enable these tools.
Some researchers involved in the development of these platforms are already saying that use of the current large language models (LLMs) is unsustainable in terms of energy consumption. Where do these platforms sit? In data centres of course!”
