Summary
Data center site selection is a crucial step in the construction process, and picking the right piece of land can be the difference between a project succeeding and failing. For AI data center developers with money burning a hole in their corporate back pockets, separating the promising propositions from duds is a time-consuming business. Build thinks it can help with an AI-powered system that it says can help sift through potential sites to identify the best parcels of land. In this podcast, CEO James Stirrat-Ellis explains how his company's system combines artificial and human intelligence to speed up projects, and how it has worked with the UK government on its much-vaunted AI Growth Zones.
