The Influencers: Digital Transformation · 2026-06-03 · 21 min
Data centers are fast becoming the defining infrastructure story of the AI economy. In this episode of The Influencers , Andi Brocks of Amazon Web Services takes co-hosts Karishma Paroha from Hogan Lovells and Tom Hughes from the IUA inside a global build‑out reshaping how businesses operate and scale. As demand for AI and cloud accelerates, data centers are no longer just technical assets, they are critical infrastructure powering everything from financial services to healthcare. But with that scale comes a new class of risk. From power constraints and supply chain pressure to systemic outages, fire exposure and evolving ESG demands, the conversation unpacks where organizations and insurers need to focus now. It also highlights a generational opportunity, as new data, new assets and new collaboration models redefine how risk is understood and priced. If you want a clear view of how digital infrastructure is transforming both resilience and value, this is a conversation worth listening to.
