Paper frames data centers as the 'body' of AI

A new paper titled "The Many-Body Problem of the Data Centre" argues that data centers, rather than disembodiment, serve as the primary physical form for modern Artificial Intelligence. The authors draw an organic analogy, likening data centers to a biological body and exploring the complex interactions and implications of this perspective. The paper suggests that data centers, driven by human desires and the mechanisms of Capital, compute and archive data without intrinsic desire, highlighting a unique aspect of AI's embodiment. AI

    Modern Artificial Intelligence is often framed as limited by its own disembodiment, as if giving it a body would unlock its true potential. We argue to the contrary that it is the Data Centre that is, in many cases, the body of the AI. At the same time, the Data Centre is part of…
