Driven by the boom in artificial intelligence, US technology companies are continuously increasing their investment in data centers to provide the computing power needed for the development of AI technology. However, a series of problems, such as aging power infrastructure and slow transmission line construction, are dragging down data center construction in the US. “One of the power bottlenecks in the development of AI in the US is actually wire winders.” According to a report by the US “Wall Street Journal” on December 16, with the rapid growth in electricity demand, demand for power transformers in the US has surged in recent years, and transformer factories have a large backlog of orders. However, as the US faces a shortage of skilled workers, it is difficult for factories to recruit skilled wire winders needed to manufacture large-scale transformers, and the process of expanding the US power grid is facing a bottleneck.
