Can the Middle East leapfrog more advanced data centre regions?

04 Feb 2025
Spotlight stage
Datacloud

Data centres are crucial for regions aiming to lead in the development of AI. As more data is processed, the more efficient AI systems become as well as data centres providing crucial storage solutions for the data, ensuring the availability of required processing power needed by AI to function.

This panel will look at:

  • Given the enhanced technical requirements of AI workloads, should there be a focus on dedicated data centre facilities for AI, or will ‘hybrid’ facilities be the future?
  • How will the infrastructure requirements differ for training vs inference workloads for AI?
  • How should this affect how we plan digital infrastructure to run AI in the future?
  • How can AI have an impact on smart cities?
