Summary

AI is pushing our energy grid to its limits, but keeping up requires a sustainable approach, backed by the latest advancements in semiconductor technology. In this episode of our We Power AI series, Kelsey talks with Peter Wawer, Division President of the Green Industrial Power Division at Infineon, about what it really means to power AI sustainably, from the grid down to the server rack. They cover why battery energy storage, HVDC, and DC-powered data centers matter, and look ahead to what “physical AI” could mean for industry, robotics, and society. Learn more about how Infineon is powering AI.
