Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #digitalisation
Even as governments pour trillions of dollars into roads, power grids, data centers, water systems, and housing, the construction industry has yet to leverage the efficiency gains that AI and digitalisation have to offer. Given how important the sector will be for sustainable development, this must change.
While much of the AI debate focuses on its economic potential, its expanding physical footprint tells a different story. The machines driving this revolution depend on a resource far older – and far more contested – than data or electricity.
Booming growth in data centres is escalating electricity demand and risks undermining the region’s energy transition goals.
Digitalisation of government services is creating inequalities in the delivery of schemes to the marginalised.
