Behind the scenes of the "intelligence revolution," next-generation data centers are working overtime to turn ambitious, life-changing AI concepts into reality. Google’s Partha Ranganathan, a godfather of modern data center design, takes us on a tour of the infrastructure breakthroughs that power both scientific leaps like Google’s drug development program AlphaFold and programs that we all use, like Gemini. We explore how these facilities have evolved from simple storage units to highly efficient computational engines that are fundamental to both our present and our future. Partha also challenges the narrative that data centers are "energy guzzlers” and makes the case that high performance and sustainability can easily go hand in hand.
