Connect | Virginia // Debate: Should we trust AI to run our data center operations?

Operators are increasingly leveraging autonomous processes to manage facility operations, from predictive analytics to remote operator assistance. While these technologies promise greater efficiency, reliability, and insight, they also introduce new risks and operational questions that the industry must address.

This debate will explore how automation can support and transform data center operations, including:

• How effective are AI-driven predictive analytics?
• Lights-out data centers: what are the risks of allowing AI to autonomously control a facility?
• How can technology assist on-site workforce?
• Leveraging DCIM and digital twins to improve operational visibility and decision-making
