US and UAE ink deal to build world’s largest data center for AI

The UAE has been pursuing AI innovation and has found a willing partner in US President Donald Trump.

The project is large enough that it will require a huge amount of energy to power. Sebastian Moss, the editor in chief of Data Center Dynamics, talks with The World’s co-host, Carol Hills, about how such a massive project will need to succeed.
