“数据中心很棒，它们就是未来20到25年的石油。”

今年9月中旬，英伟达CEO黄仁勋出席一场人工智能峰会时，收到美国总统特朗普来电。特朗普在电话中，表达了他对AI数据中心发展的看好。

随着人工智能竞赛升温，数据中心正成为美国加紧布局的关键基础设施。

中国则推进“东数西算”等工程，欧洲、中东和东南亚等地也因应自身的需求和条件，开展各具特色的数据中心布局。

新加坡刚在10月7日通过《数码基础设施法案》，不设数据中心容量上限，而是有选择地发展，将有限的土地 、电力和水资源用于高价值的数码基础设施。

数据中心为什么会变得如此重要？这场算力竞赛，又会给世界带来怎样的代价？

"Data centres are great, they are the oil of the next 20 to 25 years."

In mid-September, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang received an unexpected phone call from US President Donald Trump while attending an artificial intelligence summit.

During the call, Trump expressed his strong support for the development of AI data centres.

As the global AI race escalates, data centres are emerging as critical infrastructure in the US push to expand its AI capabilities. China and other global players are likewise formulating distinct data centre strategies. 

Singapore passed the Digital Infrastructure Bill on October 7, with no cap on data centre capacity. It is taking a more selective approach, directing its limited land, power and water resources towards high-value digital infrastructure.

Why have data centres become so important? And what will this race for computing power ultimately cost the world?

The World Explained explores data centres—the computing backbone of the AI era.
