The future of construction is evolving at an unprecedented pace, and Dr. Atif Ansar, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Foresight, is at the forefront of the conversation. His new LinkedIn newsletter, Foresight FastTrack, will provide thought leadership, industry trends, and cutting-edge innovations that are reshaping large-scale infrastructure development.
AI’s Infrastructure Challenge: Can the Industry Keep Up?
AI is no longer a distant dream—it’s an economic force reshaping industries worldwide. Companies are investing billions into AI development, but a major challenge remains: the infrastructure to support this rapid technological shift is struggling to keep pace. Some examples:
- A March 2025 McKinsey survey found that 75% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, with larger enterprises leading AI deployment and governance efforts.
- Gartner predicts that by 2027, nearly 40% of AI data centers will face operational constraints due to power shortages, as generative AI workloads demand ever-growing amounts of energy.
- BCG estimates that global data center power demand will grow 16% annually from 2023 to 2028, far outpacing previous years, with inference workloads surging at a staggering 122% growth rate.
Despite the surge in investment and AI adoption, supply chain challenges and power constraints mean that execution speed is now the ultimate competitive advantage. The question isn’t just about who can invest the most—it’s about who can build and scale the fastest.
