There has been no shortage of predictions over the past several years about how AI will impact the data center industry and how data centers will help shape the evolution of AI. We’ve been told, for example, that AI will lead to a surge in power consumption by data centers and spur major new data center construction efforts.
Over the course of the past year, it has started to become clearer which of these predictions and projects will play out. We now have evidence, for example, about how AI is contributing to data center company profitability, as well as some of the challenges (like chip shortages) the industry faces in deploying AI workloads on a large scale.
At the same time, however, as-yet-unproven projections and predictions about AI’s impact on the data center industry continued to abound over 2024. There remain many opinions about what’s coming next – like new “edge AI” architectures – and little in the way of proof demonstrating that those opinions are accurate.
For full details on these and other data center trends involving AI, here’s a breakdown of the top Data Center Knowledge stories in this vein from the past year.
