A new Brookings Institution study examines the enormous physical footprint of the AI boom, from specialized chips and electricity demand to purpose-built data centers, noting that two-thirds of a data center's cost can go into hardware and construction. The report assesses how large the buildout has become and what financial and economic risks it may pose if AI investment slows or falls short of expectations.
Why now: Debate is intensifying over whether massive AI infrastructure spending is sustainable or a bubble-like risk.
