“ GENERATIVE AI DEMANDS AS MUCH AS FIVE TIMES THE POWER OF TRADITIONAL WORKLOADS ”
RAUL MARTYNEK CEO , DATABANK
The future of AI adoption and how it will affect the data centre industry As Martynek explains , with AI adoption still in its early stages , it is hard to predict how things will evolve . “ There is no question in my mind that the power of AI has been recognised and that we will see a significant amount of investment in a wide range of AI applications for a wide range of use cases ,” he says .
“ The next few years will be about fleshing out these use cases and putting them into production . The fundamental role of data centres will not change – as the foundation for technology adoption – but I think we will see more and more data centres built to accommodate the higher power and cooling requirements of GPU infrastructure .”
With data centre demand outstripping supply , the industry as a whole will need to change . “ Right now , data centre demand is outstripping supply and I think that will remain that way for several years since average development timelines for new large-scale data centre supply take up to 48 months .” aimagazine . com 119
