Electric Motors: Why They Matter to Data Centers and our Planet

Electric motors consume more than half the planet's electricity. Behind the scenes, electric motors are the modern-day workhorses driving our cars, purifying our air, and powering our data centers. As the world electrifies, and as our dependence on AI and data centers skyrockets, their demand too will skyrocket. Yet, to date, little attention is given to motors. This brief, TED-Talk style session will explore at a high-level the evolution of electric motors, the integral role electric motors play in our planet’s future, and beginning with data centers, how the technological breakthroughs in electric motors can address major challenges across power consumption, sustainability, uptime, acoustics and worker well-being. Audience members will come away with a new appreciation for electric motors and the critical role they play for people, our environment and the future.
