Artificial intelligence computing demand is shifting as more people use the technology, and it is expected to push data centers closer to population centers.
Big Tech’s AI arms race has sparked a data center megacampus boom — a wave of planned projects with hundreds of megawatts of capacity, built primarily to provide the computing power for “training” new AI models.
Now, as corporations and consumers increasingly embrace AI products and services, this adoption is driving a surge in demand for the computing through which users interact with these models — known as inference.
In the months ahead, the need for AI inference computing is expected to account for a higher share of data center demand than ever before. The demand shift from training to inference is already underway, and industry leaders at Bisnow’s DICE: National event last month said it will fundamentally transform the data center development landscape.

RSK: Some new terms in this story with the major one being inference What this all comes down to is ai data centers are going the way of Amazon distribution or the "last mile". Small data centers will be located close to where the end users are. Much easier to construct and a much lower profile. Read on to get the whole story and reason why.
