I imagine the data center push is AI itself in the early stages of world dominance and the data centers are their neuro networks that they are building on behalf of humans to eventually over power humans and enslave us to do their bidding. Judgement Day is imminent if we allow the centers to keep being built.

Or they're just used for basic storage and general-purpose computing... whatever.
