As far as I’m aware there aren’t any AI data centres in Europe, mainly because of the overwhelming opposition to them, and most european countries have significantly more stringent planning (zoning) laws when compared to America.
Not to mention tougher regulations concerning noise pollution and actual pollution.
Missing the point. This has only become an issue since specific AI data centres have become a thing. My point still stands, I dont believe there are any specific AI centres in Europe which use a hell of a lot more energy, generate more noise and more pollution
Sure, but there are definitely AI companies with europe based servers. OpenAI is one of them. Your comment was about servers being overseas because we dont have AI datacenters, I’m saying that’s not true.
Yes, we don’t have AI datacenters, but we still host AI in europe, in multi-purpose datacenters.
Okay then, we’re is the data center servicing them or internet servers for Malta?
Apparently Malta already has the Internet. Surprising, I know.
Buttfuck Alabama.

Yeah we don’t even have internet in Europe and only recently started importing electricity from the great US, leader of the technological world.
In all seriousness, obviously Europe is filled with data centres too. This site lists ~4000 data centers in the US and ~3000 in Europe.

How many of those are AI data centers though? Those consume an order of magnitude more power.
You dont need an AI-specific datacenter to have a datacenter serving AI.
