Trillions Upon Trillions: Data Centers, A.I., and the Future of Infrastructure

Artificial intelligence has unleashed a global race to build the physical backbone of the digital age—massive data-center campuses demanding gigawatts of power and trillions of dollars in projected investment. Yet the speed and scale of this expansion are testing the limits of energy, land, and public tolerance. Do today's soaring valuations reflect durable fundamentals or merely speculative exuberance? And can digital infrastructure and decarbonization truly advance together, or are hyperscalers quietly recalibrating their carbon-free ambitions as they race to secure capacity? This session brings together global leaders in development, investment, and sustainability to explore how capital, carbon, and community pressures are reshaping one of the defining asset classes of the twenty-first century.
