Artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented data center construction boom.
Tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are investing billions in new data centers across the US and around the world to power the next generation of AI technologies.
The rapid expansion has also turned AI data centers into a hot-button issue, with critics raising concerns about energy demand, water consumption, and the strain on local infrastructure.
At the same time, the buildout of AI data centers has also created thousands of blue-collar jobs for construction workers and other skilled tradespeople who are helping to bring these massive facilities to life.
Business Insider is reporting on what it's like to build these data centers — and wants to hear from the workers making it happen.
Whether you're a construction worker, engineer, electrician, pipefitter, plumber, ironworker, HVAC technician, welder, or another skilled tradesperson helping build — or who has recently helped build — AI data centers, Business Insider wants to hear from you.
