The largest companies in the world are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI research. And while the focus is on jobs and industries that will be replace by AI, many other industries will see huge growth and development. These industries may be adjacently related to AI either via AI’s support or AI’s dependence on these fields. Energy, data centers, and room designs are all fields that may be less obvious when considering AI advancement, but could be the crux to its success.
In order for AI to operate, large data centers are needed. These data centers consume enormous amounts of power to operate AI. It is currently estimated that AI will consume 20% of global energy demand by 2030. Thus, advancements in energy, such as wind, solar, and nuclear, could see a big rise in the years to come. Additionally, the design and/or layout of a room to optimize a layout of a data center may be paramount to increasing functionality and safety while reducing costs. On a smaller scale, room designs in a home or work place for AI to operate more efficiently, accurately, and safely while meeting aesthetic benchmarks may be desired. Cybersecurity, energy consumption, and cooling are all fields that will advance with data centers during this AI boom as data has become the lifeblood of our modern economy.
Patent law plays a critical role in protecting inventive solutions and ensuring fair competition across diverse fields. It serves as both a shield and a catalyst in these transformative industries. For room designs, it preserves the uniqueness of creative visions; for data storage centers, it fortifies the backbone of our digital world; and for new power, it underpins the safe and sustainable development of energy solutions. At McCoy Russell, we have embraced the AI boom and are here to help innovators protect their technologies so they can continue to explore this new frontier. Contact us at [email protected].
