About the roleThis reporter will break consequential news about AI data center projects and the changing economics behind them by getting inside the leading data center developers, AI cloud providers and their biggest customers (top AI firms). In doing so, this person will have a chance to break news about the hardware bets these firms are making, particularly as alternatives to Nvidia chips proliferate, and changes to the supply and demand for cloud GPU servers. This person will also get ahead of what's going well with data center projects, as well as what isn't, including delays and other physical limitations and cost overruns companies are running into (power, labor, regulatory, hardware snags, etc.) long before the broader market learns about it.
These issues will be upstream of the financing and planning for these facilities, meaning the reporter will have a chance to break news on those developments too.
