    Chris Sharp & Steven Carlini: AI Factories: Power, Cooling & Token Economics

    “AI is often framed as a software revolution. But the real constraint isn’t software. It is whether we can power and cool it at scale".  In this episode of the AI at Scale Podcast, Chris Sharp, Chief Technology Officer at Digital Realty, and Steven Carlini, Thought Leadership Leader at Schneider Electric, explain a fascinating shift in the data center industry. AI is not only about AI models or chips. As data centers are becoming AI factories success depends on physical systems that must keep up. There is a clear message on planning: decision makers need to design for what is coming, not what exists today. Building only for current demand will not hold up.   For C-level executives, this is a practical view of where AI can slow down and what needs attention now.  In this episode, you will learn:  ✔ why power and cooling must be designed as one system to support AI innovation  ✔ how rising power density is changing data center design  ✔ what token economics means for cost, value, and ROI  ✔ why planning ahead is critical to avoid future limits  ✔ how infrastructure decisions affect AI performance and growth

    Marek Kowalkiewicz: The economy of algorithms

    Are algorithms quietly redistributing economic power—faster than most leaders are prepared for?  In this episode of the AI at Scale podcast, we dive into the Economy of Algorithms with Marek Kowalkiewicz—Professor of the Digital Economy, globally recognized AI thought leader, and author of the book by the same name.  Drawing on academic research, Silicon Valley experience, and global leadership roles across Asia, Europe, and Australia, Marek explains why artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for efficiency—but an active economic agent that creates value, makes decisions, and reshapes markets at scale.  This episode is essential listening for executives who sense that the rules of the game are changing—and want to understand who will win, who will lose, and why.     In this episode, you’ll learn:  Why AI should be treated as an economic agent, not just a technology—and what that changes for leadership, governance, and accountability  Where AI truly creates value today, and why separating signal from noise has become a strategic challenge  Why ROI from AI is so hard to measure, even as AI output becomes cheaper, faster, and more abundant  What’s becoming commoditized—and what’s becoming more expensive, from content creation to accuracy, trust, and decision quality  How algorithm‑optimized thinking can quietly distort strategy, erode judgment, and reduce real business value  Why your next competitor may not be a company, but a swarm of small players—or AI agents—coordinating at scale  This is a must‑listen conversation for everyone navigating an economy increasingly shaped by algorithms.

    Clayton Mohamed: How to build the best workplace for AI and digital?

    What does it take to build a workplace where AI and digital talent not only join—but stay, grow, and thrive?  In this episode of the AI at Scale Podcast, we sit down with Clayton Mohamed, VP HR at Schneider Digital, who has spent the last six years shaping the company’s digital talent strategy and building the operating model behind Schneider Electric’s global AI Hub.
