Space weather risk: the next constraint on AI data-centre scaling

Utilities are scrambling as AI data centres expand rapidly and consume electricity on a small-city scale. The surge raises a parallel threat: space weather that can disrupt satellite and communications dependencies critical to data-centre operations and network continuity—introducing a non-terrestrial resilience problem to AI growth.
