  • Summary

  • As the demand for artificial intelligence grows, so does the need for more facilities to power it—namely, data centers. Data centers can take years to build because they require particular conditions, including cooling centers, ample electricity and real estate. Now, because of the AI boom, there’s a shortage of some of the key elements that data centers need. WSJ reporter Tom Dotan tells host Alex Ossola about what this means for the future of AI.

WSJ climate finance reporter Amrith Ramkumar talks about how the technology works. Listening on Google Podcasts? Here's our guide for switching to a different podcast player.
