The Size and The Magnitude of AI Data Centers and Their Building Cost in 2025:
Image #3: The Stargate Project - Potentially Reaching $500 Billion
The Stargate project, a multi-billion dollar AI data center being built by Microsoft and OpenAI,
is considered the most expensive AI data center in the world, with an estimated cost exceeding
$100 billion, and potentially reaching $500 billion for the entire campus. This massive undertaking
aims to develop a new generation of AI supercomputers for future AI models and is scheduled to
begin coming online in 2028.
What is the cost of building AI Data Center in 2025?
Building a new AI data center in 2025 can cost anywhere from $10 million for a small-scale
facility to over $500 million for large-scale projects, with individual large tech companies
such as Meta (with its $50 billion Louisiana facility) and Microsoft making massive, multi-billion
dollar investments in infrastructure. The final cost depends on the size and processing power
required, with high-performance Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs), specialized AI chips, and extensive electrical and cooling
infrastructure being major expense drivers.
Building an AI data center in 2025 can cost anywhere from $5 million to $500 million or more, depending

Graphics Processing Unit (GPUs), Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), etc.,
land and building construction, power and cooling systems, networking, software tools, and ongoing
operational expenses. For large-scale or highly specialized AI workloads, the cost of the facility and
its operation could be quite substantial.
What is the annual cost of running an AI data Center in 2025?
There's no single annual cost for running an AI data center in 2025, as expenses vary greatly by scale
and location, but factors like hardware, electricity, cooling, and personnel are significant, with
some large facilities potentially costing billions in operations alone. For example, one engineer's
2024 estimate for a 100,000-accelerator data center projected annual electricity costs of $44 billion,
while a general estimate for a large data center's annual operation is $10 to $25 million.
Rule of Thumb for AI Data Centers (2025):
• Ongoing operational costs Approximately 20% - 30% of total build cost annually
• Example: If a data center costs $100M to build, expect to spend $20M to $30M per year to operate.
"Houston, we have a problem":
The iconic line "Houston, we have a problem" was popularized by the movie Apollo 13.
Our Views:
"AI Data Centers, we have a problem."
In short, AI Centers are:
• Very expensive to build - in the $Billions
• Very expensive to run-maintain - in the $Billions
• AI Data and development Centers are the future
The Total AI Markets are in the $Trillions:

a data center's total energy budget, with some smaller-scale AI hardware requiring an estimated
$10,000-$20,000 per month for cooling alone. Liquid cooling technologies offer significant
energy savings compared to air cooling but require higher upfront costs, while new geothermal
solutions are being explored to reduce this significant energy demand.
What are the types of the cooling methods used in AI Data Centers?
Data centers primarily use:
• Air cooling
• Liquid cooling systems
• Evaporative cooling
Image #4: Cooling AI Data Centers
Image #4 presents the use of air cooling and liquid cooling and to manage heat, with air-based systems often
using CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) units and sophisticated airflow management techniques like
hot and cold aisles.
Liquid cooling, increasingly used for higher density environments, involves direct-to-chip or
immersion cooling using fluids to more efficiently transfer heat from servers to the environment.
Other methods include evaporative cooling, which uses water to cool air, and advanced rack-level
solutions for targeted heat removal.
Servers' Racks and Wiring:
AI data center server racks face extreme challenges compared to traditional data centers due
to the high-density, power-hungry nature of modern AI hardware, such as GPUs. This creates
significant issues in cooling, power distribution, cable management, physical rack
infrastructure, and overall operational efficiency.

Servers' Box, system unit, or computer case is the technical term for the main part of a personal
computer that contains the processing components. It is the most common and general term for the box
that holds the computer's internal hardware.
Can Computers Hardware Vendors build a AI server without the server box or case?
Yes, computer hardware vendors can and do build AI server hardware without a traditional server
box or case. In the context of large-scale data centers, the standard metal chassis is often
replaced with an "open frame" or "open rack" design. These specialized structures are built
to house a much higher density of computing components than standard servers.
Image #8: Server without the Server Box or Case
Massive Heat Dissipation:
The most powerful AI servers use multiple high-wattage GPUs, CPUs, and other components,
which generate a tremendous amount of heat. An open frame allows for unobstructed, efficient
airflow, which is critical for cooling these powerful components.
Enclosed cases would trap this heat, potentially causing the hardware to overheat.
How Do They Power AI Data Centers?
AI data centers are powered by high-capacity electrical grids, requiring sites near robust
infrastructure to access large volumes of electricity. This power runs through complex electrical
distribution systems to servers and other equipment. Because AI training uses enormous
computational resources, the primary power source for these centers is the public utility grid,
though some companies explore building their own solar and wind farms to provide clean energy.

regulatory aspects.
AI Data Centers and Heat (Waste Product) Generated:
Image #10: Computer Chips and Heat Generated
Image #10: shows Computer Chips and Heat Generated in AI Data Centers.
AI processing generates massive amounts of heat, and for data centers.
This heat is traditionally treated as a waste product and expelled.
We are proposing the conversion of data centers heat into an asset, improving
sustainability and creating new revenue streams.
Cybersecurity and Data Center Thermal Attacks:
Cybersecurity thermal attacks against AI data centers involve hackers manipulating cooling systems to
cause hardware damage, disrupt operations, or exfiltrate data. With the immense heat generated by AI
servers, these attacks are becoming a critical threat vector.
Data center thermal cyberattacks manipulate computational workloads or compromise cooling systems
to create localized hotspots and overheating, degrading server performance, increasing costs, and
potentially causing component failure or shutdown. These attacks can be difficult to detect and
can exploit vulnerabilities in Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) or power systems. Defenses
include enhanced thermal monitoring, advanced anomaly detection, robust security for management
systems, and strategic workload placement.
Rapid Growth

has a substantial environmental impact through greenhouse gas emissions and land use, alongside
supply chain and workforce bottlenecks.
Possible issues are:
1. Massive energy and water consumption
2. Substantial environmental impact
3. Energy consumption and grid strain
4. Water consumption and scarcity
5. Climate and health impacts
6. Supply chain and operational challenges
7. Supply chain and infrastructure constraints
8. Inefficient scaling and forecasting
Scalability
AI data centers face immense scalability issues driven by the extreme demands of:
1. Generative AI
2 Large language models
3. Putting unprecedented pressure on power grids, cooling systems
4. Strain on their Network infrastructure
The key challenge is that AI workloads are far more intensive than traditional
computing, requiring a complete rethinking of data center design and operation.
Data and Privacy
Big Data Issues:
Big data refers to data sets so large and complex that traditional data processing software
cannot manage them.
The Issues of Big Data:
1. Size-Magnitude:
The sheer size and quantity of data is massive, often measured in petabytes
and zettabytes. Sources include social media, website clickstreams, sensors from
IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and financial transactions.
2. Updating:
This is the speed at which data is created and needs to be processed. For
example, a self-driving car relies on a continuous, real-time flow of data to make instant
decisions on the road.
3. Structured and Unstructured:
Big data encompasses many different data types and formats. This includes
traditional structured data (like a spreadsheet), unstructured data (like images, videos,
and text), and semi-structured data (like log files and web pages).
4. Analyzing:
Only Machine Learning can truly be able to perform accurate and fast data analysis.
5. Quality and Reliability:
Veracity refers to the quality and reliability of the data. With data
coming from so many different sources, it can be messy, noisy, and contain errors, requiring
careful cleaning and management.
6. Cleaning and Pruning:
Data cleaning and data pruning are both processes for improving dataset quality and efficiency,
but they address different problems. Data cleaning focuses on fixing specific quality issues
within a dataset, while data pruning removes entire portions of the dataset to reduce its size
for better performance.
7. Net Value:
The ultimate goal of big data is to extract valuable insights that lead to
better business decisions. Without a clear purpose, the data is just noise.
8. Data Streaming:
Data streaming is the process of continuously transmitting and processing a flow of data,
often in real-time, instead of in large, discrete batches. This continuous flow is made
up of individual data elements, known as events, that are ordered by time and used to
derive immediate insights and take action. Sources include Internet of Things (IoT) devices,
sensor readings, web activity logs, and financial transactions
How Much Data Is Created Daily?
According to the latest estimates from Statista, throughout 2024, approximately 402.74 million
terabytes of data are generated daily (equal to approximately 402.74 quintillion
bytes - 4.0274 X 10E20), encompassing newly created, captured, copied, and consumed information.
Data and Privacy:
AI data centers face increased privacy risks due to the massive amounts of sensitive data used for
training and the potential for AI models to memorize personal information, leading to breaches and
misuse like spear-phishing. Safeguarding data requires implementing strong encryption, strict access
controls, and the principle of data minimization, using only necessary data. Ensuring data privacy
also involves complying with regulations and being aware of supply chain vulnerabilities.
Big data continues its exponential growth, largely fueled by the explosion of Internet of Things (IoT)
devices and pervasive digital connectivity, leading to a "new data generation" characterized by
unprecedented volumes, velocity, and variety of information. This new era is seeing advancements in AI
and cloud computing, enabling organizations to store, process, and extract deeper insights from this
massive data. However, the scale of data also presents challenges, emphasizing a need for better
data management, a strong focus on data ethics and privacy, and a move towards centralized data
solutions and decentralized edge computing for efficient analysis.
Maintenance
For an AI data center, maintenance is more intensive than a traditional data center due to
high-density racks, massive power consumption, and increased heat generation. An effective maintenance
program combines automated, AI-driven predictive maintenance with regular manual checks across
the following main areas:
• Facility - infrastructure
• DevOps - hardware and software

Important Topics and Quick Summary of Our Answers Table
Important Topics and Quick Summary of Our Answers Table is very much the puzzle which we need
to unpuzzle by answering:
How can these Important Topics and Components be done?
Our Strategies:
How to control a chaos situation?
• Accepting what you can't change
• Focusing on what you can
• Establish a clear plan
• Prioritize tasks to bring order
Our Answer is simply - Restructuring:
Restructuring is the act of organizing a company, business, or system in a new way to make
it operate more effectively.
We need to Restructure the following:
• The Size and Cost
• Energy, Cooling and Head Dissipation
• Security
• Staffing
• DevOps
• Data and privacy
• Growth
Our main strategy is implementing Vertical and Horizontal processes which are:
1. Vertical = Issues with each unit or component
2. Horizontal = The Number of Units as they are spread horizontally across
Vertical - Each Unit:
1. Each Server or equipment produces lots of heat and must be cooled
2. Instead of having servers as boxes, placed in opened racks trays:
We should be building the racks to replace the box closure
The racks would have motherboards with chips located in these motherboards
No more wiring, but the racks would have the hard-connections
3. Racks would have built-in motherboard and wiring
4. Using Robots
5. Rack positioning, size and angle of tilting - for ventilation and easy access - including Robots
6. Ventilation
7. Building cooling systems
8. AI maintenance systems
9. Power supplies and lighting
10. The size of the buildings - the average full-scale data center is around 100,000 square feet
11. Using mirrors to light the building during the day
Intelligent Servers Racks:
The existing servers' racks are more of a dummy structure and all the wiring passing through and around these server racks.
We are looking for rack vendors who would build intelligent servers' racks.
These intelligent servers' rack would perform the following:
• These servers' racks would be controlled by an AI central management system
• They would have all the built-in wiring and connections
• They can also communicate with servers' motherboards to:
o Help in cooling these motherboards
o Reporting any issues with the motherboards
• Communicate with the Robots servicing the system
Horizontal Issues = The Number of Units as they are spread horizontally across:
In a horizontally scaled data center, the various infrastructure components like
servers, storage units, and network devices are distributed across multiple racks,
cabinets, or even data halls. This creates a distributed system that can handle larger
workloads and provide better fault tolerance.
We need to restructure AI Data and Development Center and building Energy Self-Sufficiency AI
Data and AI Development Centers. We also need to build AI Model-Agent Foundation systems
for Businesses and Research Institutions.
The main steps of restructuring are:
1. Vertical = eliminate issues with each unit or component
2. Horizontal = the number of Units as they are spread horizontally across the Glob
3. Optimum Size
4. Specialization
5. Automation Using Robots
AI Data and AI Development Center Total Picture Diagram
We need to present a rough picture of what we are trying to build in simple terms. AI
Data and AI Development Centers Structure and Energy Flow Diagram Image shows how we
can use the subfreezing saltwater of the oceans or seas to cut the cooling energy bill
to zero. How to build a data center and run it by using robots. The heat generated by
the center would be used to run Water Purification Plant and protect the environment
instead of dumping the hot water back into the ocean or the sea. The fresh water produced
has Nemours use. The needed power source would be created from:
Windmill + Wave Energy + Solar Panels + Backup and Standby Diesel Generators
The Size and The Cost
The idea that "bigger is better" is more of personal choice and not a factual, data-based statement and when
it comes massive size, the unknown is kind of scary.
We need to address the following question:
What are the possible issues when it comes to:
• AI massive size structure
• AI massive size operations
• AI massive size Power needed
• AI massive size security
• AI massive size management
We do not want to start a debate on the size, but we would like to present our view of the
size of AI structure and operations.
Our thinking and approach to size is:
Strength in Number
"Strength in numbers" is an idiom that means a group of people have more power, influence,
or safety than a single individual because they are united and can provide mutual support.
The phrase is used to describe the advantage of working together in a group, highlighting
that collective efforts are more effective in achieving goals or overcoming challenges.
We also like to add the fact that each of member of global network would be able to replace
other AI Data Centers in case of issues or problems.
We will be developing a global network of high specialized AI Data and Development Centers.
The advantage of working together in a group, highlighting that collective efforts are more
effective in achieving goals or overcoming challenges.
What are the factors which determine the size of each unit or each AI Data and Development Center?
We start with basic unit of building AI Data Center, and the basic unit is a running server.
What exactly is an AI server?
AI Running Server Image
AI Running Server Image presents the physical servers within an AI Data Centers.
In short, there is nothing but racks of running server which must be maintained 24 X 7.
The term an AI server refers to servers specifically built to handle the demands of AI workloads.
From a component's perspective, AI servers incorporate a variety of discrete hardware elements,
including:
AI processors, including general-purpose CPUs
An AI server is a high-performance computing system specifically designed and optimized to handle
the intensive computational demands of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. Unlike general-purpose
servers that handle a variety of tasks sequentially, AI servers are built with specialized hardware
and software to process massive datasets and execute complex parallel calculations with maximum
speed and efficiency.
We are not the experts on servers, but:
What factors would be considered in bare-metal structure and its performance?
CPU, core, clock speed, registers, cache memory, core memory, bus, chip manufacture
support, software support, VM, labor, time, testing and cost.
Image #14: Bare-Metal Server's Processor Structure Diagram
Image #14: Bare-Metal Server's Processor Structure Diagram presents what we believe a server with multicore
processors components should have.
In this case, the more the better. For example:
Are there bare-metal server with 64 processors more?
Yes, bare-metal servers with far more than 64 processors (also referred to as cores or sockets)
are available, with options ranging from dual-processor systems that provide 64 cores to servers
with multiple sockets that can reach over 200 cores. These high-core-count servers are built with
processors like AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon and are designed for demanding workloads like big data
analytics, AI/ML, and high-performance computing.
Performance Speed:
We recommend bare-metal servers with 64 processors more. Each processor would have its own Cache, registers and its own virtual
server. Each processor would run independently.
We hope that we our recommendation is not dated and there could be more advance bare-metal
servers than what we are presenting.
Note:
Physical or bare-metal server's hardware is quite different than that of other types of
computers. Physical server would have Multi-Core processors, IO Controller with multiple
hard drive, Error Correction Code (ECC) memory, multiple power supply, threading,
parallel computing, redundancies, ..etc. The reason for all these additions is the fact
that servers run 24X7 and data loss, damages or slow performance would translate to losing
business, customers, ..etc.
The Needed Power:
What is the energy-electricity needed to run a server with 64 (or more processor) for:
1. One day
2. One month
3. One year
ChatGPT said:
To estimate the energy and electricity consumption of a server with 64 processors
(or more), we need to make some assumptions and perform calculations based on typical
power usage for servers.
For simplicity, let's assume 200 watts per processor (as an average value).
Energy Consumption per Day, Month, and Year:
Energy consumption is typically measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Here's how we calculate it:
Server runs 24 hours a day:
307.2 KWh
Assuming 30 days in a month:
9,216 KWh
Assuming 365 days in a year:
112,128 KWh
What is the average number of servers in good size AI Data Center?
It is typically an AI data center houses 2,000 to 5,000 servers.
The total energy need by per one year:
One Year:
5,000 X 115,000 (rounded 112,128) KWh
= 575 MWh rounded to 600 MWH
How many Solor Panel needed to produce 600 MWH?
You would need about 1,027 solar panels rated at 400W each (with 5 sun hours/day and
80% efficiency) to produce 600 MWh/year.
How many windmills are needed to produce 600 MWH per year?
A single onshore wind turbine that can handle 2-3 megawatts pumps out about 6 million
kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity each year.
Horizontal axis turbines are the most common type seen on onshore and offshore wind farms,
usually featuring three blades that look a bit like an airplane propeller. They are highly
efficient at generating electricity, with an output of around:
26.1 megawatts (MW) per day X 365 Days = 9,527 MWH
Sadly, our Google and ChatGPT searches when it comes to windmills, their number are
matching nor sounds correct.

its own power and no outside power would be needed.
In conclusion:
Building Energy Self-Sufficiency AI Data and AI Development Centers
We can assume that the size of one AI Data and AI Development Center with 5,000 high-capacity
servers can be development with their own windmills and solar panels and no need to any outside
energy supply.
Energy, Cooling and Heat as Reusable Energy
The high energy consumption of AI Data Centers generate extreme heat, creating significant problems for traditional
air-cooling systems due to the increased power density of modern AI hardware.
A data center produces heat equivalent to almost all of the electrical energy it consumes.
For example:
• Modern large data centers generating 20-50 MW of heat
• Hyperscale data centers producing tens or even hundreds of megawatts
This waste heat comes from servers, storage, and networking equipment and is a byproduct of
the running servers.
Note:
CPU limits:
CPUs are designed with built-in thermal sensors that will throttle performance or even shut
down if they exceed a certain temperature, typically around 90C (194F). However, this is an
internal safety limit, not an operational one.
Data Center Impact:
Large-scale AI data centers can create localized "weather" with air temperatures around
heat rejection equipment reaching 140F (60C) in extreme conditions.
The first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but
changes form, with electrical energy primarily converting to heat in a data center.
Our Cooling and Heat Reusable Energy:
Image #16: Fresh Water Creation using Distillation
Image #16: presents our rough draft of reusing of servers' heat can be used to Create fresh water using Distillation
Our strategy is:
Use the subfreezing temperature of Ocean and Seas saltwater to cool the servers.
At the same time, we would capture the heat-reuse such heat to create fresh water.
Cold Salted seawater in used to cool the servers and the byproduct heat is used to create
fresh water.
Rainforest Approach:
The rainforest approach to creating freshwater is a concept of biomimicry, where technology
and conservation efforts are modeled on the natural processes of rainforest ecosystems. Rainforests
are powerful water systems that capture, filter, and distribute vast amounts of freshwater, and
scientists are replicating these mechanisms on a smaller scale.

2. High turnover rates
3. A widening gap between needed skills and the available workforce
4. Talent gap
5. Retiring workforce
6. Competition with other industries
7. The modern data centers require more diverse and non-technical skills like problem-solving and adaptability
Using Robots:
Robots are increasingly being used to automate various tasks in data centers, enhancing efficiency, security,
and safety while reducing human error. This includes tasks like physical security, environmental monitoring,
maintenance, and material handling.
In our case, we need Robots which would perform the job of the center staff including physical maintenance of
servers and equipment. In short, our AI management, control and maintenance physical asks would be done by Robots.
We do need help and also brainstorm what we should be looking for.

Our Views on AI Growth and Our Vision:
We believe that hardware and processors-CPUs-Core are getting faster by the minutes, while software is still behind.
We are technical architects-analysts-PM-developers-testers, therefore our focus for AI is on:
How can AI make our technical lives easier?
How can AI Growth help IT professionals like us?
We believe AI should pick up and move software to chips for faster, efficient and
secured software processes, Operating Systems and business packages.
AI should make the hardware performs almost all the programming plus
builds "Built-in Chips" for utilities, Commons, security, or any redundancies in
software development-processes.
As for testing, AI should build test scripts, test processes, default testing data and
possible standard GUI users' interfaces.
In short, replace all the tedious, repetitive and mindless testing processes with an eye on make user
interfaces idiotproof.
Solving Software Issues:
1. Software is running in slow memory chips and a lot slower IOs
2. We also see motherboards and IOs are lacking intelligence and a big bottleneck for faster processes
3. Not to mention hackers are finding ways into computer system through these software programs and utilities
4. No Intelligent Control Management of DevOps which is the link between hardware, software and the world
Solving Data Issues:
1. Lack of universal standards
2. Poor Data analysis system
3. Poor performance by Machine Learning on Big Data

Our Views on AI Data Centers Growth and Our Vision:
Our answer to AI Data center growth is we need to learn from history.
The Dot-Com Bubble (1995–2002):
In the late 1990s, the stock prices of many internet-based companies
grew exponentially, only to collapse in 2000-2001.
US housing Bubble:
The period leading up to the 2008 financial crisis saw a significant rise in real
estate prices, which ultimately collapsed.
Nuclear power Bubble:
A nuclear power bubble refers to the current risk of over-inflated expectations and investment
in next-generation nuclear startups before their technology has been commercially proven. While
these companies promise a cleaner energy future, concerns persist about high costs, logistical
bottlenecks, and regulatory hurdles that could lead to financial losses for unprepared investors.
AI Bubble:
An AI bubble refers to concerns that the rapid growth in the AI sector is a speculative financial
bubble, driven by massive investment and hype, similar to the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s.
This theory suggests that a significant number of companies are being valued based on future
potential rather than current profits, and that a market correction or burst could occur as investors
re-evaluate the technology's actual return on investment. While many believe an AI bubble exists and
could lead to a market downturn, others view the massive investment as a necessary and justified
technological revolution, though potentially with misdirected investments.
