Yet when discussing that SIN01 is built largely off existing infrastructure, she says:“ A year later, AI comes and we say, right, let’ s do an expansion. Why? Because building creates emissions, full stop – but the impact on power usage, for example, is not equivalent to the additional workload. It’ s the same space.
“ The environmental impact is already studied. So all of the compensation measures are done based on the demand from the energy grid, but the physical space that this occupies: the habitats, the seawater monitoring, all of the bird watching and mitigation strategies that we have put in place for noise pollution – wouldn’ t change having AI or having more IT capacity, because we already predict the impact itself on the place.”
This perspective – that AI can increase computing density without proportionally increasing environmental impact – offers a path forward for an industry grappling with sustainability pressures.
As India puts it:“ SIN01 shows how quickly AI is coming up and that it can help. How do we have AI in the same space? We’ re using AI to put AI inside the racks.”
When asked to summarise the whole project in one word, Pablo concludes:“ For me it’ s disruption. SIN01 is a clear example of how we can build data centres in a completely different way – and I’ m proud because we’ ve been part of it.”
