The growing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into business operations, research, and public services has highlighted the necessity of advanced digital infrastructure, especially data centres, to support the computational and data storage needs of AI applications. AI models, particularly those using deep learning, require immense amounts of data, computational power, and real-time processing capabilities. This white paper explores the vital role of AI digital infrastructure in data centres, examining their design, components, key challenges, and the strategies needed to create an optimised environment for AI workloads. We also discuss the emerging trends in data centre technology, such as edge computing, liquid cooling, and the increasing use of GPUs and TPUs, to meet the needs of next-generation AI.
