One of the models used to train AI is called a recursive loop. It refers to a feedback loop where an AI model generates new data which is then used to further train and improve that same model.  That same concept can help visualize the complex interaction of forces driving the development and adoption of AI itself. Basically, AI is creating demand for data centers, while at the same time, AI is being used to streamline and improve the processes and technology used to build data centers.

As we step into 2025, the drive for simplicity, efficiency, and connectivity is reshaping the technological landscape. Three major trends—Artificial Intelligence (AI), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)—are converging to create a connected world where innovation drives smarter, faster and more intuitive solutions.

The “Fourth Industrial Revolution” is well underway. Back in 2011, economist Klaus Schwab coined the term to refer to the rapid digitization and accessibility of technologies that spark a global shift in processes – in everything from how we communicate to how businesses and governments are managed.
