IEA says that the World Trade War may produce the opposite winds of the emerging artificial intelligence sector

PARIS (Reuters) – Laura Kozi, Director of International Technology Technology (IEA) told Reuters that the global escalating tariff war can provide challenges for the emerging data center sector and cause slower growth, said Laura Kozi, Director of International Technology Technology (IEA).

The IEA Intelligence Agency said in a report on Thursday that the United States, China and the European Union are scheduled to be calculated by 2030 compared to 80 % of the database demand growth, which is expected to be dominated by artificial intelligence (AI).

Kzi said: The scenario of the winds reversing the report “includes many of the things we see – the slow economic growth, and more customs tariffs in more countries, so yes (the current tariff environment) is a scenario in which artificial intelligence sees a slower growth than what we see in our basic issue.”

Global electricity consumption of databases is expected to rise to about 945 hours of TERAWATT (TwH) by 2030 in the IEA case scenario, but the “wind scenario” will witness a decrease to 670 TWH.

In the United States, databases are expected to explain approximately half of the electricity demand growth between now until 2030, and the country is expected to lead in developing the database worldwide, according to IEA data.

American electricity facilities submit huge requests to obtain a new energy that would exceed the high demand or their generation, which raises fears that technology companies are close to multiple energy service providers, which leads to an enlarged demand expectations.

The report aims to work with technology and industry companies to understand the true waiting list for data centers, which will ultimately be necessary for the IQ Agency to obtain the electricity it needs.

Pressure on networks can also delay the project, with about 20 % of planned data center projects. The IEA report said that the demand for transport lines, network equipment and critical obstetrics in the high demand, which reflects this risk.

She said that about 50 % of databases are under development in the United States are present in large groups present, which may raise the risk of local bottlenecks.
