AI is driving a data-centre boom. The vast, energy-hungry facilities that power everything from ChatGPT to cloud computing are multiplying rapidly as governments and technology companies race to build them. But their growing demand for land, electricity and water is fuelling opposition in communities around the world. Rahul Tandon and Will Bain explore why demand for data centres is soaring, who's building them, and what happens when the demands of the AI economy collide with local communities.Presenters: Will Bain and Rahul Tandon Producer: David Cann(Picture: A sign that says ‘No Goodman Data Centre' is displayed outside a home in the suburb of Lane Cove, in Sydney, Australia, August 14, 2026.

Britain wants to become an AI superpower – but does it have the electricity to power one? Data centres underpin everything from online banking and streaming to artificial intelligence, and demand for them is exploding. The government has designated them as critical national infrastructure and is promising billions of pounds of investment, but Britain's ageing grid is already struggling to keep up.Michael Simmons asks whether the UK can build enough power stations, transmission lines and substations to support the AI revolution – and what the consequences could be for electricity bills, water supplies and local communities. He is joined by entrepreneur Michael Tobin and American energy journalist Robert Bryce to discuss why Britain needs data centres, the growing backlash against them and whether the country risks being left behind in the global AI race.This episode is brought to you by Alliance Witan investment trust.

« Donner une dernière chance à ces jeunes », « une dernière chance avant le passage derrière les barreaux ». C'est par ces expressions que la présentatrice du journal télévisé Anne-Claire COUDRAY introduisait en mai 2025 la présentation d'un reportage sur les CEF. Les Centres Educatifs Fermés, abrégés en CEF, sont depuis 20 ans l'un des outils de la justice pénale des mineurs. Ces lieux d'hébergement contraint accueillent des mineurs, garçons ou mixtes âgés de 13 à 18 ans suite au placement imposé par ordonnance d'un magistrat. Promesse de campagne électorale de Jacques Chirac avant sa réélection Présidentielle de 2002, les premiers CEF sortent de terre en 2007. L'objectif initial de ce dispositif était de créer un échelon supplémentaire entre le foyer d'hébergement classique, appelé unité éducative d'hébergement collectif, et la détention des mineurs. Actuellement, la France est dotée de 38 CEF, dont 3 en Outre/Mer, 19 en secteur public et autant dans le secteur associatif habilité, 20 garçons + 17 mixte + 1 filles. 600 à 700 jeunes y sont placés tous les ans (pour 80 000 mineurs suivis sur le plan pénal). Pourtant, le 26 novembre 2025, le Garde des Sceaux annonce la fermeture des CEF en expliquant qu'il « n'ont pas démontré leur efficacité depuis leur création » en les qualifiant de « ni éducatif, ni fermé ». Comment fonctionne le dispositif des CEF et quel avenir a-t-il au sein de la justice pénale des mineurs ? Pour répondre à ces questions, je reçois Laurène SERGENT, Directrice des Services à la PJJ depuis 10 ans, directrice au sein de plusieurs services de structurations juridiques différents, exerçant actuellement les fonctions de contrôleuses des établissements et services au sein de la Direction Interrégionale Ile-de-France et Outre/Mer.

De Casablanca aux Ardennes, Intelcia a fait de la France un marché clé de son développement. Le géant marocain de l'externalisation y emploie aujourd'hui près de 3 500 personnes et mise sur l'intelligence artificielle pour accompagner, plutôt que remplacer, ses salariés. Avec 800 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires et une présence dans une vingtaine de pays, Intelcia est aujourd'hui l'un des leaders mondiaux de l'outsourcing, l'externalisation de services comme la relation client ou la gestion d'infrastructures informatiques. Après dix ans sous le contrôle du groupe français Altice, l'entreprise est revenue entre les mains de ses dirigeants historiques marocains. « Aujourd'hui, 100 % de l'entreprise est détenue par ses managers », affirme Karim Bernoussi, le directeur général. Créée à Casablanca par des ingénieurs marocains, Intelcia s'adressait d'abord au marché français depuis ses centres d'appels installés au Maroc. Mais pour poursuivre sa croissance, le groupe décide en 2011 de s'implanter directement en France. « On s'est dit qu'il fallait être proche des clients français, explique Karim Bernoussi, on ne pouvait pas faire que de l'offshore, on ne pouvait pas produire pour ses clients qu'au Maroc ou en Afrique subsaharienne, il fallait être présent sur le marché. En 2011, on a eu l'opportunité de faire l'acquisition d'un acteur qui avait à peu près 1 000 collaborateurs sur quatre sites en France. Et ça nous a permis d'un coup, en 2011, d'avoir une vraie présence en France. » Aujourd'hui, Intelcia emploie près de 3 500 personnes dans l'Hexagone. Le groupe travaille aussi bien pour des administrations, comme France Travail, que pour de grandes entreprises privées. Il est notamment le premier employeur du département des Ardennes. « L'avenir se fait avec un combo IA et humain » L'an dernier, Intelcia a toutefois été visée par des accusations sur les conditions de travail de certains salariés. Une question écrite à l'Assemblée nationale évoquait notamment « des humiliations quotidiennes, des convocations publiques » et « une précarité organisée ». Des critiques rejetées par Karim Bernoussi : « On est dans un secteur dans lequel, si vous ne traitez pas vos salariés avec transparence, si vous ne mettez pas en place un climat de confiance, vous ne pouvez pas performer puisque notre première richesse, ce sont nos employés. Nous avons un regard très important sur la manière dont nos salariés sont employés, dont ils sont traités et sur la façon dont on les fait grandir. » L'autre défi du secteur est désormais l'essor de l'intelligence artificielle, qui transforme rapidement le fonctionnement des centres d'appels. Pour Karim Bernoussi, cette évolution ne remet pas en cause les emplois en France. « L'avenir se fait avec un combo IA et humain. Aujourd'hui, l'IA va permettre à nos agents de travailler de manière beaucoup plus efficace. Lorsque vous demandez un nouveau code pour une carte de crédit, vous n'avez pas besoin d'un humain pour vous le donner. En revanche, tout contact avec un client est une opportunité pour les marques de faire passer un message ou de réaliser des ventes. Et ça, le meilleur moyen de le faire, c'est avec l'humain. » Selon une étude du cabinet américain Gartner, près d'un tiers des responsables de services clients ont déjà engagé ou prévoient des réductions d'effectifs liées à l'intelligence artificielle d'ici l'année prochaine. L'Organisation internationale du travail estime toutefois que la transformation des tâches est plus probable que la disparition complète des emplois.

In June, Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke published ‘The Value of Data Centres to Ireland', an independent report prepared by KPMG which assesses the economic contribution and strategic importance of the data centre sector in Ireland.Lynn Boylan, Sinn Féin MEP for Dublin, through FOI, says vital information was removed from the report to benefit the Government agenda on data centres, including impact on housing, energy and land use…She joins Shane to discuss.

Ben Hilborn, founder and CEO of Elastic Energy, argues the AI data centre boom could actually lower electricity costs rather than drive them higher. He explains how smarter electricity markets, flexible power demand, and AI itself could reduce power bills and unlock new economic opportunities. It's a counterintuitive conversation about why the future of artificial intelligence depends as much on the electricity grid as the computer chip.This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

There are several development projects underway for AI data centres in Canada, with plans for many, many more. The Canadian government is behind these projects as it tries to encourage Canadians to adopt the technology and increase Canada's digital sovereignty by housing data within our borders. But there is a lot of opposition to these data centres from the communities where they'd be built, including in Hamilton, and Île-des-Chênes, Alta. Residents worry about the facilities' water use, power use and environmental impacts.
