The pace of AI development is nuts Something caught my eye this week that shows just how furious the AI race is becoming: Meta is so desperate for more data centres that it's constructing tents while the proper data centres are built. There are now five 12,000 square meter tents erected at a site in Ohio. They build these “rapid development structures” to house likely billions of dollars' worth of chips. A proper data centre can take years to build – they get these live in three months. They build ‘off the grid' gas-turbine power stations beside them too. Meta's next product: an AI pendant According to reports, it's planning to start testing the device early next year. There have been AI pendants hit the market that haven't taken off. Unsure if it's because they're not actually useful, or because people have privacy concerns about a device listening to everything you say. OpenAI is also working on a device with Apple's former designer Jony Ive. Google and the FBI are warning of something that sounds like it's straight from a movie US law enforcement is warning about ransomware gangs sending fake IT workers to offices to try and steal data. The group has been targeting law firms – turning up and social engineering their way to the laptops of victims and then connecting USB drives or using remote access tools to save data.

Any comments/questions?https://x.com/iamdanielfordAnsley Brown Twitter:https://x.com/AnsleysgardenData centres are increasing in number; stealing land, consuming vast amounts of essential resources and throwing people out of their homes ... but what is the wider context here, and who is ultimately behind it?... 

Well, well, the latest data from the ABS revealed that Australia's economy decelerated last quarter, missing estimates, thanks to the early impact of higher fuel costs and rising interest rates as well as slowing wages, with modest household and public sector expenditure as well as cyclone disruptions to mining and export activities. There are three … Continue reading "Australia Saved By Data Centres For Now, As Our Luck Runs Dry…"

Prime Minister Mark Carney has released Canada's long-awaited AI strategy. Power & Politics hears from Minister of Artificial Intelligence Evan Solomon on his government's approach to widespread integration. The Power Panel weighs in.

Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, describes the economic benefits of data centres in a newly-published government report.

If you've noticed that data centres are having a moment in Canada right now, you wouldn't be the only one. As Ottawa looks to maintain a sovereign digital footprint amid the current AI rush, building its own data centres has the potential to do so. But the question is who actually funds these centres, and what are they doing to the environments around them? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Shion Guha, assistant professor at the Faculty of Information and Department of Computer Science to discuss why Canada is in a rush to build all these data centres and what Canadians need to know about them. Shion also writes The Public Interest Technologist newspaper, you can read it here: https://publictechnologist.substack.com We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

The podcast opens with updates on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a German state-owned energy company contracting for Canadian West Coast LNG, and the Pope's theological document warning about AI. Next, Peter and Jackie introduce this week's guest, Marc Spieler, Senior Managing Director for the Global Energy Industry at NVIDIA, joining from Houston, Texas, to discuss the latest developments at the intersection of AI and energy. Energy and AI are deeply interlinked. Energy companies are using AI to improve efficiency across oil and gas, renewables, and emerging sources such as next-generation fission and fusion. At the same time, AI's explosive growth is driving significant new electricity demand, requiring a build-out of both generation and grid infrastructure. Predicting future power demand from AI remains uncertain; it depends on the pace of adoption and whether GPUs, along with other delivery components of the digital infrastructure stack, will become more efficient over time. Marc highlights that data centres are becoming more flexible, with the ability to reduce consumption during periods of grid stress. This would allow new data centre capacity to be added without straining the grid, while also lowering costs for all power consumers by improving system utilization during off-peak periods. Content referenced in this podcast: NVIDIA Blog with examples of energy company AI applications: Efficiency at Scale: NVIDIA, Energy Leaders Accelerating Power‑Flexible AI Factories to Fortify the Grid (March 2026) NVIDIA's NeMo Framework was used for asset integrity and reliability at Petrobras (March 2025) NVIDIA's Earth-2 library of open models, libraries, and frameworks that democratize global access to professional-grade weather and climate AI NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference design to maximize efficiency (March 2026) NVIDIA and Emerald AI, along with other energy companies, pioneer flexible AI factories (March 2026)  Pope Leo XIV, Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence (May 25, 2026) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Dans cet épisode nous allons en apprendre plus sur le Service de jour d'Oshawa avec nos invitées : Sylvie Lachance et Brigitte Auger.  Brigitte et Sylvie se sont rencontrées pour la première fois lorsque Sylvie a accompagné ses parents lors de leur première visite au Service de jour.  Brigitte est coordonnatrice et animatrice du Service de jour d'Oshawa pour les Centres d'accueil Héritage depuis plus de 11 ans. C'est une femme pétillante, pleine d'énergie, et passionnée par son travail auprès des personnes âgées.   Native du Québec, Sylvie habite maintenant dans la région d'Oshawa. Il y a une dizaine d'années, ses parents ont déménagé en Ontario pour se rapprocher d'elle. Comme la mère de Sylvie avait des problèmes de santé et ne pouvait pas rester seule à la maison, elle a commencé à participer aux activités du Service de jour d'Oshawa, ce qui offrait un peu de répit au père de Sylvie. La mère de Sylvie est décédée en 2018 et c'est maintenant son père, atteint de la maladie d'Alzheimer, qui fréquente le Service de jour. 

Bientôt 15 jours que l'OMS, l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, a classé l'épidémie d'Ebola dans l'est de la RDC en « urgence de santé publique de portée internationale ». Depuis, le virus poursuit sa course meurtrière, avec plus de 200 morts. Avant-hier, rapporte Le Forum des As à Kinshasa, « le ministre de la Communication, Patrick Muyaya, et le ministre de la Santé publique, Samuel Roger Kamba, ont annoncé qu'environ 1 000 personnes présentant des symptômes compatibles avec Ebola étaient actuellement suivies, dont 101 cas confirmés, tandis que 3 600 cas contacts faisaient l'objet d'une surveillance rapprochée. (…) Les autorités congolaises reconnaissent que la bataille sera longue, pointe encore Le Forum des As. La riposte pourrait s'étendre sur trois à six mois, selon l'évolution de la courbe de contamination. (…) Pour Kinshasa, contenir rapidement la propagation du virus tout en rassurant les populations reste désormais le défi majeur des semaines à venir. » Défiance et colère… Et parmi les priorités, note encore le quotidien kinois : les enterrements sécurisés… En effet, relève Le Monde Afrique, « les enterrements sont à haut risque pour la propagation du virus Ebola. Le contact avec le corps des défunts est un des principaux modes de transmission de la maladie infectieuse. Depuis l'officialisation de l'épidémie, les autorités s'attellent donc à sécuriser ce rite. Mais les distanciations imposées aux proches des morts suscitent de la défiance. » Témoin, cette vidéo, transmise au Monde Afrique par une source humanitaire. Les faits se passent à Kyondo, dans la province du Nord-Kivu. On y voit « une foule en colère s'en prendre à des soignants vêtus de blouses bleues, de masques et de gants chirurgicaux, pour les empêcher de charger un cercueil dans leur véhicule. (…) Lors des dernières secondes de cette vidéo d'une minute, le couvercle du cercueil est arraché par un des membres de la foule. À l'intérieur de la bière, on distingue un sac mortuaire blanc dans lequel se trouve une des quelque 220 personnes probablement emportées par la nouvelle flambée épidémique. » « À Mongwalu, principal foyer de propagation situé dans l'Ituri, rapporte encore Le Monde Afrique, la tension fut telle, dimanche dernier, que les forces de l'ordre ont dû tirer en l'air pour disperser la foule. "Des jeunes fidèles catholiques ont assiégé l'hôpital pour tenter de récupérer le corps d'un pasteur populaire et d'organiser eux-mêmes son enterrement, ce qui n'est pas possible compte tenu de l'épidémie", relate un élu local. » Des patients en fuite… Toujours à Mongwalu, rapporte Afrik.com, « des tentes d'isolement construites avec l'appui de MSF, Médecins sans frontières, ont été incendiées le week-end dernier par un groupe non identifié. 18 patients suspectés ou atteints d'Ebola, selon le Dr Richard Lokudi, médecin directeur de l'hôpital, ont pris la fuite. Sept autres patients ont profité de la confusion pour s'échapper. Radio Okapi évoque pour sa part 13 malades toujours introuvables sur les 28 personnes que les tentes hébergeaient. (…) Cette fuite de patients constitue l'un des pires scénarios pour la riposte, soupire Afrik.com. Ebola se transmet par contact direct avec les fluides corporels d'une personne malade ou décédée. Si des patients symptomatiques rejoignent leurs familles, consultent dans des structures informelles ou se déplacent entre villages, la chaîne de transmission devient beaucoup plus difficile à reconstituer. » Stopper la propagation ! La crainte est maintenant que le virus franchisse des frontières… « L'Afrique mobilise près de 500 millions de dollars pour éviter une contagion régionale », pointe Le Journal de Kinshasa. C'est ce qu'annoncent l'Union africaine et les Centres pour le contrôle et la prévention des maladies, présents sur le continent. « Objectif : stopper la propagation et éviter que cette flambée d'Ebola ne devienne la deuxième plus grave depuis 2014. » Déjà en Ouganda, pays voisin, rapporte Jeune Afrique, « deux nouveaux cas confirmés ont été enregistrés. Cela porte à sept le nombre de malades d'Ebola – dont l'un est décédé – recensés dans le pays depuis le début de l'épidémie ». L'Ouganda qui a décidé de fermer temporairement ses frontières hier.

Power expert Keith Middleton discusses how the growth in data centres, properly regulated, won't break the grid and could be good for the energy transition. Plus: Finally, some financing deals, and other news of the week.

Tech giants are increasingly looking beyond Earth to solve one of AI's biggest growing pains: where to put all the computers.

Data centres are becoming and ever bigger part of our daily lives and our landscapes – great big warehouses, packed with computers, that power pretty much every digital thing we do, from using AI chatbots or filing our tax returns. They've popped up around the world in recent years and – whether we like it or not - more are coming. But people don't necessarily want to live next to these places. They're often big, faceless facilities, built close to the towns and cities they serve, and there's a perception that they're pushing up electricity costs and consuming precious water. So as the AI revolution rolls on, fuelling the need for ever greater digital storage capacity, how do we learn to live with data centres? Presenter/producer: Gideon Long If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.uk(Picture: Aerial view of a large Google Data Centre in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, UK on 30th November 2025.

The team discusses how demand for new data centres is driving increased electricity bills and water shortages – sort of – and checks out the latest regulations for lithium-ion power banks on planes. We also welcome reports that future Apple computers might have Intel inside once more, and wonder whether Google's new Googlebook concept could be the future of computing. Our Hot Hardware candidate is the Apple AirPods Max 2, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones so quiet and comfy that Jon claims he can fall asleep on a plane wearing them.

« L'éducation est la base de tout. Si on veut transformer une société de façon pacifique, ce n'est que par l'éducation. »Notre système éducatif est-il à bout de souffle ? Comment, à travers l'éducation verte, pouvons-nous y répondre et en faire un véritable projet de société à la hauteur des défis du XXIe siècle ?Professeur en sciences de l'éducation à l'Université de Montpellier, Sylvain Wagnon est spécialiste de l'histoire de l'éducation nouvelle et auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur les pédagogies alternatives. Il explore dans son nouvel essai « Éducation verte, éducation de demain », les voies pour faire de l'éducation un véritable levier de transition écologique et sociale, tourné vers l'épanouissement des enfants.Bien plus que l'école, l'éducation verte est une refonte totale de notre système : dé-cloisonnement disciplinaire, importance du corps et des émotions, rôle des parents, place de l'enfant dans la ville… Sylvain s'appuie sur des exemples concrets, de l'école dehors à la « ville à hauteur d'enfant » en passant par la formation continue et les pédagogies actives, pour proposer une éducation résolument tournée vers la vie, l'action et l'émancipation.Ensemble, nous abordons des leviers d'action concrets :▶️ Décloisonner les savoirs : aborder les mathématiques, l'histoire, le langage autour de problématiques concrètes comme l'alimentation ou le jardin.▶️ Réhabiliter l'importance du corps, des émotions et du collectif dans les apprentissages.▶️ Faire de l'école et la ville un espace d'action locale et de lien : végétaliser les cours, ouvrir les jardins aux familles, repenser la ville à hauteur d'enfant.▶️ Valoriser les enseignants comme acteurs majeurs de cette transformation.Un épisode qui nous donne des clés précieuses pour accompagner la révolution éducative dont nous avons tant besoin.Au programme :(02:30) Pourquoi le système éducatif traditionnel ne répond plus à notre époque(04:33) Éducation verte : définition et enjeux au-delà de l'écologie(06:36) Révolution éducative : compétences essentielles et décloisonnement disciplinaire(10:36) Centres d'intérêts à l'école : de la Finlande à l'Espagne, ce qui fonctionne(12:09) Comment concilier savoirs fondamentaux et compétences psychosociales(14:10) Pourquoi les pédagogies actives mettent autant de temps à s'imposer(17:15) L'école dehors : retour d'expérience et apports concrets pour les apprentissages(21:57) Nature, adolescence et nouvelles technologies : comment retrouver du sens(26:13) La transition écologique dans les programmes et dans la vie réelle(31:06) Ville à hauteur d'enfant, rôle des parents : l'importance de décloisonnerL'éducation verte, ce n'est pas une utopie, c'est une transformation concrète déjà en marche, pour une école plus vivante en phase avec les défis d'aujourd'hui et de demain.

What if the biggest winners in tech today are the ones spending the most - despite the risks? Big Tech earnings surprise to the upside, but markets pick clear favourites as Alphabet surges while Meta slips on AI spending fears. Microsoft doubles down with a staggering US$190 billion capex plan, while Amazon’s cloud engine keeps delivering strong growth. In Singapore, DBS signals conviction in the AI future with a US$20 billion data centre push, even as profits edge higher. Meanwhile, Wall Street stays cautious - oil prices rise, the Fed shows rare division, and leadership uncertainty clouds policy direction.

What if you could train a frontier AI model without building a single data centre? In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Steffen Cruz, co-founder and CTO of Macrocosmos, to explore a radical alternative to the way AI models are built today. Instead of billion-dollar GPU warehouses, Steffen is training large language models using idle compute from devices distributed around the world, coordinated through the Bittensor blockchain. Steffen breaks down why the centralised data centre model is heading toward a wall. Projects like Stargate and Colossus cost tens of billions of dollars, and as appetite for larger models grows, the economics simply stop making sense. He explains how distributed training flips this on its head, tapping into surplus energy, underutilised GPUs, and even consumer devices like Mac Minis to train models at a fraction of the cost. We also get into IOTA, Macrocosmos's flagship technology, an orchestration layer that takes compute nodes scattered across the globe and makes them act like a single supercomputer. No single device runs the full model. Instead, each one carries a small slice, a technique called model parallelism, and together they can train frontier-scale models that would otherwise be out of reach for startups, researchers, and enterprises. Finally, Steffen shares what he's building toward: 70 billion parameter models trained at 10 to 20 percent of centralised costs, a two-sided marketplace for compute, and a future where anyone with a spare GPU or Mac Mini can earn passive income while contributing to the democratisation of AI.

Liz Carolan of The Briefing offers her insights into the role of data centres, and how these facilities are using a significant share of the country's electricity.

Calls have been for made for HIQA to have more control of Clare's International Protection Accommodation Centres. It follows successive damming reports into conditions at Knockalisheen Direct Provision Centre in Meelick, with the latest identifying major fire, privacy, health and safety risks. Of the 208 residents living there, 61% have been granted refugee or protection status in Ireland, but cannot leave due to a lack of alternative accommodation. Clare Immigrant Support Network Manager Simon Ó'Treasaigh says much greater oversight is needed.

La région de Querétaro, à trois heures de la capitale, se présente désormais comme un hub des technologies digitales et de l'innovation. Les géants de l'Internet s'y installent pour construire des centres de données. Une bonne nouvelle pour l'économie de la région. Mais se convertir en arrière-boutique de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) a un prix. Derrière les discours et les promesses de croissance, se trouve la réalité des habitants qui ne profitent pas des retombées. Des centres qui consomment énergie et eau en grande quantité dans une région semi-aride. De notre envoyée spéciale à Querétaro, À la périphérie de la ville de Querétaro, dans la localité de La Esperanza, Monserrat Sanchez tient dans sa maison un petit restaurant où elle vend des tacos. Comme de nombreux habitants ici, la jeune femme ne reçoit l'eau courante que deux ou trois jours par semaine. « Regardez, le robinet est ici. Non, il n'y a rien », montre-t-elle. Ce dernier mois, elle est restée trois semaines sans eau. « Je crois que c'est à cause de tous ceux qui viennent ici, les entreprises et les usines qui sont là », ajoute-t-elle. Interrogée sur l'évolution de la situation, elle répond : « On n'a jamais eu autant de problèmes, je crois que cette année c'est la pire. On s'y habitue. De toute façon, on ne s'intéresse pas à nous, que peut-on faire ? » Pendant que la population lutte au quotidien pour accéder à l'eau, l'industrie de Querétaro se développe à grande vitesse, en particulier le secteur du cloud et du stockage en ligne. Dans d'immenses hangars ultra-sécurisés, les géants du web hébergent leurs centres de données. D'autres sont attendus dans les prochaines années, fruit d'un investissement de 12 milliards de dollars. Une aubaine pour le gouvernement local, malgré la réputation de ces infrastructures d'être très gourmandes en énergie et en eau, notamment pour leurs systèmes de refroidissement. Marco Antonio Del Prete, secrétaire local du développement durable, affirme cependant que les centres de données installés à Querétaro utilisent beaucoup moins d'eau. « Ils utilisent un circuit d'eau fermé qui remplit un réservoir. N'est alors remplacée que l'eau perdue par condensation ou évaporation. Ils ne consomment pas d'eau en continu. Selon les rapports que nous avons, leur utilisation est beaucoup moins intensive… au moins ici, au Querétaro », précise-t-il. Interrogé sur des chiffres précis, il répond : « Non, parce que ce n'est pas une obligation de le demander. » Faute de transparence et de contrôle, la consommation réelle de ces centres de données à Querétaro reste floue. Les estimations varient selon les acteurs et les technologies employées. Néanmoins, les autorisations délivrées par la Commission nationale de l'eau (Conagua) concernent plusieurs millions de litres par an. « Le centre de données d'Amazon consomme la même quantité d'eau que deux villages », souligne Erick Silva, député local d'opposition. Ce dernier porte un projet de loi visant à donner la priorité à la population en matière d'accès à l'eau. Il dénonce l'encouragement à installer de nouvelles entreprises dans cette région semi-aride. « Puisque la Conagua nous a classés comme une zone à haut risque en ce qui concerne la période d'étiage, sur quelles bases peut-on proposer à ce type d'entreprises de venir installer des centres de données ici, à Querétaro ? » s'interroge-t-il. Au Mexique, l'État de Querétaro se positionne ainsi au cœur d'un secteur promis à contribuer à plus de 5 % du PIB national d'ici 2029. Mais dans un contexte où les ressources hydriques sont déjà surexploitées, la question de la répartition de l'eau entre la population et l'industrie devient de plus en plus pressante.

When the workings of an electricity market come to the attention of the White House, it's usually a sign that something's wrong. Back in January, 13 state governors went to the White House to agree plans for PJM, the largest electricity market in the US. The market is scrambling to find more energy supply to keep up with the boom in data centers, while holding down ratepayers' bills. Managing the PJM grid is one of the toughest jobs in the US power industry. And these days it is being carried out in the full glare of political and public scrutiny.If you want to understand the pressures bearing down on the US electricity, PJM is the place to look. It is the largest grid in the country, serving 67 million people across 13 states and the District of Columbia. And it is some of the world's most intense hotspots for new data center development, including the famous “data center alley” of northern Virginia, which takes roughly 90% of the country's internet traffic . When things get complicated for PJM, they get complicated for everyone.On this episode, host Ed Crooks is joined by Asim Haque, Senior Vice President for Governmental and Member Services at PJM, and by regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of the Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab at New York University. Together, they unpack how PJM got itself noticed by the White House, and how its problems can be tackled.Asim explains the organization he works for. PJM is a nonprofit that operates the grid, runs the electricity market, and plans the transmission system. It is regulated by FERC, but also accountable to a thousand-plus members across 13 states, each with its own energy policies, its own governor, and its own politics. That structural complexity is central to why running PJM is so challenging.Those problems converged from two directions: decarbonization and data centers. The result has been soaring prices in the PJM capacity market. And when those prices were capped, the alarms about a future reliability crisis started flashing red.The White House responded by convening all 13 governors of the states covered by PJM, and produced a statement of principles for bringing new generation capacity into the market. As Asim explains, these principles lie behind the plan for a backstop reliability procurement, designed as a one-time mechanism to bring new electricity supply onto the system quickly.There is also an expectation that data centres will bring their own generation; and a "connect and manage" framework for those that don't. The key feature of that: data centers can have their supply curtailed before residential customers lose power. The White House and the governors agreed that the bill for grid and generation improvements to meet rising demand should be paid by the data centers. It sounds straightforward, but is it really? Asim explains his perspective.The episode also examines the deeper design questions about PJM's capacity market: whether a three-year forward procurement window can send the right signals for the long-term investment the grid now needs. Amy brings the consumer and policy lens throughout. Are the complexities of cost allocation and market design inherent to the electricity system, or are they manufactured and even sometimes exaggerated? And can they sometimes militate against lower-cost solutions such as renewables and batteries?Asim ends by offering some advice for other grid operators. If you are not going to gate demand, you need a connect-and-manage approach; if you are not going to gate demand, it will get expensive; and if it is going to get expensive, you need to decide who pays.

The government is opening 14 new infusion centres around the country, where patients can get chemotherapy and other therapies. It's also expanding 14 existing infusion centres. The Health Minister said a boost in Pharmac funding that same year is delivering 66 new medicines including 33 cancer treatments, increasing the need for infusions. Triple negative breast cancer survivor, Catherine Cooke, slammed the anouncement saying without medications like Keytruda, funded for early stage cancers, more infusion centres are not the solution and patients are being driven into debt to survive. Cooke spoke to Lisa Owen.

More cancer patients will get treatment closer to home with the expansion of infusion centres, according to the government. But the plan could take two and a half years to roll out. The governments opening 14 new infusion centres around the country, where patients can get chemo and other targeted therapies that are given intravenously or through drips into the vein. One west Auckland clinic opens later this week. It's also expanding 14 existing infusion centres. Nicola Coom, chief executive of the Cancer Society spoke to Lisa Owen.

Iran has been bombing US owned data centres in the Persian Gulf, damaging physical infrastructure and disrupting cloud services across the region. Meanwhile in the UK, the combined value of new data centres approved last year officially overtook office buildings. Katie Prescott and The Times's technology correspondent Mark Sellman look at how this critical infrastructure is reshaping energy, infrastructure and conflict around the world. They also hear from Lei Zhang, CEO of Envision, a Shanghai based green tech company who talks about energy security, trade wars and robot cities.Producer: Marnie DukeExecutive Producer: Priyanka DeladiaImage: Getty Images Hosted on Acast.
