This is Marketplace.

I'm Kai Risdahl.

We're going to continue with the thread of Megan's piece now, artificial intelligence.

And to do it, do me a favor and picture for me, if you would, a data center.

What does it look like?

Well, whatever you imagine, it's probably not an historic building smack in the middle of downtown Los Angeles, right?

How much do you love that in 1938 they built this building for information and transfer of data and all this jazz, and now you're doing the same thing?

Come on.

Miley Kaiser, the person I'm talking to, is the chief revenue officer of a company called Coresight.

It owns 30 data centers across the United States, three here in Los Angeles.

And they're building more because, as you've heard, the artificial intelligence infrastructure that so much of this economy is betting on right now and that we talked about last week is getting perilously close to being too big to fail depends on data centers.

Lots of them being built all over this country, powering, we are told, our economic future.
