AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom

The AI industry needs to generate $6 trillion in annual revenue by 2031 to justify the massive growth of data centers, according to a report. This estimate is based on the current rate of data center construction, which is expected to increase by 28% annually. The report highlights the need for AI to demonstrate its economic value and justify the enormous investment in data centers. If AI fails to meet this target, it may lead to a slowdown in data center growth.
