The century-old device quietly choking the world’s AI ambitions
The century-old device quietly choking the world’s AI ambitions Power transformers, not chips, have become the real bottleneck for AI infrastructure expansion Share Add us on Google by Editorial Team Jul. Power transformers, devices whose basic design dates back to the 1880s, have become the unexpected chokepoint in the global race to scale artificial intelligence. Here’s the thing about power transformers: they step voltage up or down so electricity can travel long distances and then be safely delivered to buildings, factories, and yes, data centers.
