Transition-AI 2025

The Transition-AI series is back in Boston for 2025, with a focus on infrastructure. The race for AI supremacy is already having a profound effect on developing digital and energy infrastructure. Tech giants see AI as the next industrial revolution, and are feverishly planning and building new data centers equipped with purpose-built computing, cooling, and power solutions for this new age. Collectively, they are set to spend $320 billion annually on the computing and power infrastructure to support their AI ambitions — with the bulk of that investment in the U.S. The biggest limiting factor for growth is not chips, servers, or land — it's energy availability. The urgency to build new data centers quickly, combined with zero-carbon commitments from hyperscalers, is driving innovative thinking around how to develop energy- and resource-efficient computing capacity. It is also raising questions about how to pay for the infrastructure, and how quickly clean, firm options can scale. Transition-AI 2025 brings together leaders in technology, finance, power markets, and energy and digital infrastructure development to explore how the landscape and options for powering data centers is evolving, and if it still can be accomplished sustainably.
