  • As demand soars for AI, there's a need to transport huge amounts of data across oceans. Tech giants have big plans for new submarine cables, including the longest ever.

The article from Kiplinger discusses the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on undersea cable investments. As AI technologies require vast amounts of data to be transferred quickly and reliably, there's a growing need for enhanced global connectivity. This has led to significant investments in undersea cables, which are crucial for international data transmission. Companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon are not only investing in these cables but also in the infrastructure to support AI's data needs. The article highlights that these investments are driven by the need for lower latency, higher bandwidth, and more secure data transmission routes. Additionally, geopolitical considerations are influencing cable routes to avoid potential chokepoints or hostile territories, thereby ensuring data security and continuity. The surge in AI applications, from cloud computing to autonomous vehicles, underscores the strategic importance of undersea cables in the digital economy.
