Recognizing the Real Power Behind the AI Revolution

Back to Top

Every technology revolution has two stories. While we celebrate the software and the platforms, we rarely talk about the physical infrastructure and the people who built it.

In his recent article “The Technology Behind Technology” in Manufacturing Business Technology, S&C’s Anders Hultberg discusses how the people building our power infrastructure are the key to making technological advancement possible.

Here is an excerpt:

“We’re on the cusp of the next great revolution. But this time, the stakes are higher, the timelines are shorter, and the infrastructure gap is more acute than most people realize. And once again, the revolution is being built by hand. Before we talk about AI, we need to talk about the grid. Not just what it’s being asked to carry now, but when it was built.

The gap between a mid-century grid and a 21st-century world is the defining infrastructure challenge of our era. Closing it is not a software problem. It is an engineering and manufacturing problem, solved one piece of equipment at a time, by people who know how to build things that cannot fail.”
