Track how AI data center buildouts are reshaping power grids, labor markets, and AI product roadmaps in 2025.
Artificial intelligence is now a capital project as much as a software feature. Hyperscale operators, chipmakers, utilities, and regional governments are investing at record levels to deliver the power-dense compute that advanced models require. Because data centers sit at the intersection of construction, energy, and digital services, their expansion influences local tax bases, labor markets, and national industrial policy.
Coordinating AI roadmaps with infrastructure constraints has become a core leadership skill. The latest numbers highlight how quickly the physical layer is scaling—and why strategy teams need to understand land, power, and supply chain dynamics alongside model quality.
