Nu doar rafinăriile sunt bombardate: centrele de date AI au devenit noua țintă a războiului dintre Iran și SUA

Data centers supporting artificial intelligence have become direct military targets in the Iran-U.S. conflict, raising concerns about digital infrastructure security. Iran has attacked several Gulf data centers, while the U.S. has struck a facility in Iran. This marks the first time such facilities have been physically attacked in an armed conflict. The attacks have disrupted services, including those of Amazon Web Services. Gulf states are heavily investing in AI, aiming to become a global hub alongside the U.S. and China. Experts warn that targeting data centers alters perceptions of modern conflicts, as these facilities support both civilian and military operations. Insurance companies are increasing premiums for data centers in high-risk areas, potentially deterring future investments in the region.
