We live in an era of unprecedented data-driven transformation, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) leading the charge as one of the most groundbreaking innovations of our time. In just two years, 200 million ChatGPT users are generating a staggering 1.6 billion AI queries each month-and by 2025, this number is expected to surpass a billion users.
What once seemed futuristic has quickly become part of everyday conversations. The rise of AI and the semiconductor boom that is fuelling it have taken centre stage in both tech circles and living rooms. And now, here the world has in its hand GPT-40-an AI capable of seamlessly interacting through audio, video, and text, all in real-time.
As one looks toward the 2030s, it is easy to imagine humanoid chatbots taking shape, powered by AI systems that communicate as naturally as humans. The future of AI is not just arriving-it is unfolding at lightning speed.
This technological revolution is driven not only by AI models but also by the critical infrastructure that supports them, such as Al-powered data centres, which rely heavily on optical fibre connectivity. As these data centres transition to GPU-based servers, the demand for high-performance fibre optic infrastructure, both within and between the centres, will significantly increase.
Over the last decade, data centres have undergone constant advancements. They have become larger, accommodating more power-demanding, high-density servers and improving efficiency and sustainability.
