NVIDIA and Trump Oppose Calls to Slow Frontier AI Investment
📅 - NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang turned a live Los Angeles interview into an unusually public alignment with President Donald Trump on Monday, as both rejected calls to slow advanced artificial intelligence development. The exchange sharpened an industry dispute now touching chip demand, data center spending, safety oversight, China policy, and the pace of frontier model investment globally.
The spectacle itself was revealing. Huang took Trump's call while speaking at the All-In Summit, put the president on speaker, and agreed as Trump dismissed artificial intelligence fears as a hoax and argued that slowing development could advantage China. The substance matters more than the theater. NVIDIA [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Zettabyte Plans Green AI Data Centers in Asia With Raku - Zettabyte and Raku Advanced Tech have signed a memorandum covering AI data center projects in Taiwan and Thailand, tying GPU operations to solar generation, battery storage and energy management. The agreement is still preliminary, with no disclosed sites, megawatt capacity or construction timetable, but it lands as power availability becomes one of the harder constraints on new AI infrastructure.
The proposed split is straightforward. Raku Advanced Tech would handle data center development and energy infrastructure, while Zettabyte would operate the compute layer through its zSUITE platform. What is less clear is how much capacity the companies actually expect to build, when the first [...]
📅 - Fujitsu MONAKA Servers Aim at Sovereign AI Data Centers - Fujitsu is taking aim at AI infrastructure's power and cooling bottlenecks with MONAKA, a 2nm Arm CPU and server platform designed for sovereign deployments in Japan and Europe. The company says the system can run AI inference in air-cooled data centers, potentially giving operators another path to add capacity without first rebuilding facilities around dense GPU clusters.
For hosting providers and data center operators, that is the part worth watching. The market has spent several years designing around increasingly power hungry accelerators, often forcing operators into higher rack densities, new electrical distribution and liquid cooling projects that are expensive, slow and difficult [...]
📅 - Digital Realty Enters Türkiye Through Rönesans Infrastructure Joint Venture - Digital Realty is entering Türkiye through a joint venture with Rönesans Infrastructure, starting with a carrier neutral Ankara campus designed for more than 22 MW of IT capacity. The move extends PlatformDIGITAL into a market linking Europe, the Middle East and Asia, while giving cloud, network and enterprise customers another regional option for infrastructure deployment and interconnection growth.
The Ankara project is the immediate test. Digital Realty and Rönesans Infrastructure say land, power and permitting have already been secured, with early construction underway and completion targeted for 2028. The facility is intended to serve national enterprises, public sector organizations [...]
As renewed calls for clear AI policy grow, a survey from web hosting provider 20i reveals that 84% of the web industry believes AI needs government regulation, amid the absence of comprehensive federal legislation in the U.S.
Support for regulation was high across all roles, from 83% of web designers to 88% of copywriters, indicating widespread agreement across the web sector and highlighting the industry’s recognition of AI as a time-sensitive issue requiring oversight.
As new warnings about AI safety continue to emerge, and as use becomes commonplace, more than half (56%) worry about ethical misuse. Despite co
📅 - team.blue Cuts Carbon Footprint as AI Infrastructure Expands - team.blue says it has cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions 47 percent from its 2022 baseline while expanding AI infrastructure across its European hosting portfolio. The group has also moved Turkish workloads into a fully renewable powered data center, highlighting a harder question for hosting operators – whether efficiency gains can keep pace with rising compute demand.
The numbers are substantial enough to merit attention. Scope 3 emissions are down 25 percent in absolute terms and 68 percent by intensity, while team.blue says renewable energy now accounts for 94 percent of its overall energy use. Some 88 percent of its hosting brands are verified by the Green Web Foundation, up from 71 percent [...]
📅 - AWS Reports Data Loss After Iran War Data Center Damage - AWS says parts of its Gulf cloud footprint cannot be recovered more than six months after Iranian drone and missile strikes damaged facilities in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, leaving some customer resources inaccessible and raising uncomfortable questions about how hyperscale cloud resilience holds up when physical infrastructure itself becomes a direct wartime target.
The technical failure is narrower than a regional cloud collapse, but the commercial implications are broader. In Bahrain, damage crossed multiple availability zones and exceeded the level Amazon Web Services says its regional and multiple zone architecture was designed to withstand. Customers that had not already [...]
