You won’t believe how much revenue AI titans need to haul in for data center binge

Bain & Company, a major consulting firm, has calculated that artificial intelligence would need to generate $6 trillion in annual revenue to justify the massive investment in data centers required to power it. Currently, existing AI services are projected to produce about $1.8 trillion yearly, meaning the industry would need to create $4.2 trillion in new revenue from AI applications that don't yet exist.
