Join the Financial Times at Wharton for a discussion exploring whether the AI infrastructure boom is the next dot-com bubble and what it means for the future of finance, technology, energy, and sustainability.

As technology companies invest billions in AI data centres, growing demand for electricity is raising critical questions about energy security, grid capacity, and environmental sustainability. At the same time, investors are questioning whether the unprecedented spending on AI infrastructure will deliver sustainable financial returns or whether the industry risks repeating the excesses of the dot-com era.

Featuring Martha Muir, energy reporter at the Financial Times' New York bureau, the discussion will bring together perspectives from across Wharton's business, finance, energy, and sustainability communities to examine the opportunities and challenges shaping the AI infrastructure boom. From the financial viability of AI investments to their environmental and energy implications, the conversation will explore how businesses, investors, and policymakers can navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear from the Financial Times and engage in a timely conversation about the future of AI, investment, and sustainable infrastructure.
