The global AI race is rapidly shifting from a battle over models to one over infrastructure, power, and sovereign technology ecosystems, said Matthew Oostveen, Japan and Asia Pacific (JAPAC) vice president and chief technology officer at Everpure, underlining that energy efficiency is emerging as a critical competitive advantage in the AI era.
“There is a finite amount of power available to a facility and it’s all used,” Oostveen told ET. “Every watt saved” from inefficient infrastructure can now be redirected toward graphic processing units and AI workloads as enterprises race to build faster and more powerful AI systems, he said.
