Governments Invest Billions in AI
Data Centers development is the big winner
Mark Savant
July 22, 2025
I’m always talking about AI. I see it’s impact everywhere I look.
What’s surprising to me is how many people don’t seem to pay attention. I don’t know if it’s because they are scared, or they think it’s too complicated, or it’s too big to wrap their head around.
I get all of that, but….
As men and as leaders we have an obligation to learn and execute. The markets are shifting, jobs are impacted, and governments are investing huge in infrastructure.
Today’s trends are a perfect example of these trends.
