In South Korea, a $35 billion facility under construction could become the world's first large-scale data center designed, built, and operated by artificial intelligence. Stock Farm Road, the investment group behind the project, has partnered with Stanford-backed AI developer Voltai to make AI the designer, manager, and operator of the Korean data center. According to the two companies, this will mark the first time AI has been integrated into an entire data center system. According to this collaboration, known as the “Concord Project,” AI will be responsible for the design, construction, and operation of the data center, from efficiently managing the use of resources such as electricity and water to quickly adapting to different AI computing workloads. The two companies said that humans will participate, but only as supervisors, and AI will play the role of decision makers. The data center is under construction in Jeollanam-do, South Korea. Stock Farm Road is an investment group founded by Brian Koo, the grandson of the founder of the Korean conglomerate LG, and Amin Badr Investments, the founder and CEO of Badr Investments, a London-based and Jordanian company. If built according to the ideas of the data center supporters, the center is expected to cost as much as 35 billion US dollars and have a power capacity of up to 3 gigawatts. Globally, it is rare for a single site to have more than 1 gigawatt of available electricity, and available electricity determines how many AI computing chips can be installed. The facility was announced earlier this year and is scheduled to be completed in 2028.
