AI Boom Strains Global Data Center Infrastructure to Breaking Point

Global AI demand is overwhelming data center infrastructure, straining power grids and cooling systems according to Turner & Townsend's 2025-2026 construction cost index analysis.

The massive strain on data center infrastructure from AI demand directly impacts technology accessibility, costs, and innovation timelines for consumers and businesses. As power grids and cooling systems reach capacity limits, this could lead to higher computing costs, slower deployment of AI services, and potential delays in technological advancements that affect everything from healthcare diagnostics to autonomous vehicles. For investors, it highlights critical infrastructure bottlenecks that may affect tech company valuations and investment opportunities in the energy and construction sectors needed to support AI growth.
