[GenAI] hardware will consume more power and require more efficient cooling systems. Most of the LLM development and AI model training are being done in data centres, and this is driving demand for data centre space as well as how it is being designed.

If the GenAI space is left to develop unchallenged, as Big Tech currently stipulates, a future AI-rich world will find itself increasingly lacking a diversity of perspectives, such as those of women, ethnic minorities, publics from the global south and other cultures.
