Episode 2 | AI, Power and the Future of Data Centres, with Stephen Bowes-Phipps

The AI boom is driving a global data centre building frenzy. But is anyone stopping to ask why? In this episode of the Data Centre Podcast, recorded at Data Centre LIVE: The London Summit, host Ella Wilkinson sits down with Stephen Bowes-Phipps, Vice President of Global Data Centre Processes and Risk at State Street Bank. With decades of experience across the industry, Stephen makes a compelling case that the sector is so focused on solving engineering problems that it's ignoring the bigger questions around economics, technology disruption and genuine sustainability. From photonics and glass-based inferencing threatening to make today's GPU-hungry infrastructure obsolete, to the uncomfortable truth about carbon offsets and waste heat opportunity, this is a must-listen for anyone invested in where the data centre industry is really heading.
