Power, Data, and the Orbiting Future
Rethinking Data Centres in an Age of Energy Uncertainty It may seem almost incongruous to speak of the future of data centres at a time when the world is engulfed in an energy crisis.

After the Applause: India’s AI Inflection Decade
The India AI Impact Summit concluded with declarations, endorsements and a clear normative articulation of human-centric artificial intelligence.
