据普华永道称,为满足全球日益增长的人工智能需求,全球数据中心支出到2050年预计将达到31.6万亿美元,这将成为人类历史上前所未有的投资热潮。普华永道周三在一份报告中表示,如果人工智能的普及速度超过其“核心情景”预测,未来25年数据中心支出甚至可能达到50万亿美元,规模将远超铁路、互联网和电气化等历史性大型建设项目。作为比较,美国国内生产总值目前约为30万亿美元。随着消费者、企业和政府越来越多地使用人工智能,微软、亚马逊等科技巨头以及规模较小的数据中心运营商正以极快速度在全球各地建设新的计算设施。与此同时,科技行业正努力遏制围绕数据中心建设不断升温的反对声音,这些阻力可能拖慢数据中心扩建步伐。研究机构Data Center Watch的数据显示,今年前三个月,至少有75个数据中心项目因当地居民反对而被叫停或推迟,这些项目总价值约1300亿美元。
