The rapid advance of artificial intelligence is reshaping the technological landscape and with it, driving unprecedented growth in data center development and investment. The United States currently leads the world in data center development, exceeding over 5,000 facilities nationwide supporting cloud computing, artificial intelligence, social media, streaming services and enterprise operations.

The surge in data center development has introduced unique insurance challenges. Therefore, it is increasingly important for policyholders to scrutinize their policies to ensure that new and elevated risks associated with data center projects are covered.
