Manufacturers, engineers, fabricators, and contractors are capturing a massive share of the investment flowing into data centers.

Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities for software companies across the AI supply chain, but it’s also making innovation more expensive.

Prompts are becoming a smaller and less central part of how people interact with AI.

Across industries, a new behavior is emerging inside boardrooms and operating teams: “tokenmaxxing.” The term captures a growing tendency for businesses to aggressively deploy AI tools—not because they are strategically aligned, but because they signal modernity, efficiency, and innovation.
