Live talk  Ensuring the effective establishment of AI Data Centres in developing countries, while protecting energy and water usage

Live talk description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expanding rapidly worldwide, driving a significant increase in demand for data centres, which are the critical infrastructure that enables digital services, cloud computing, and AI applications. For developing countries, this trend presents both a major opportunity and a complex challenge. While local data centre infrastructure can support digital transformation, data sovereignty, and improved connectivity, it also raises concerns around electricity demand, water usage, and the financing of large-scale infrastructure. Many developing economies already face constraints in energy generation capacity, water availability, and infrastructure financing. As AI adoption accelerates, ensuring that data centres are developed in a sustainable and resource-efficient manner will be essential. At the same time, the growth of AI infrastructure offers new opportunities to mobilise private investment and attract long-term capital for digital infrastructure.
