The phrase “AI runs in the cloud” is useful until you picture an actual cloud. Then it becomes misleading. AI runs in buildings. Those buildings are filled with chips, cables, cooling systems, backup equipment, security gates, substations, and people who care very much whether the power stays on. Every search, training run, video model, recommendation system, and business workflow sits on top of a physical energy system. The future of AI is partly a software story, but it is also a power story.

A data center is easy to misunderstand because the services feel weightless. You ask a model for help, open a search result, stream a video, store a photo, or run business software, and the work appears on a screen. The physical machine is somewhere else. That distance creates the illusion that digital demand is different from normal demand. It is not. A data center is a building that turns electricity into computation, heat, and useful digital service.
