Nokia CEO: Data centers would be built 2x faster without shortages

Nokia CEO Justin Hotard told CNBC that AI data center demand remains robust, and customers would build twice as fast if not for supply constraints like memory chip and energy shortages. This comes despite debates about slowing AI development. Nokia, a major telecom equipment maker, has pivoted to AI infrastructure, selling technology to connect chip racks and interconnect data centers. The company's stock is up about 130% in the past year. Hotard emphasized that even without new frontier models, deploying existing technology offers significant progress. The article also notes that AI buildout investments could total $10.3 trillion from 2025 to 2032, and that recent safety concerns from Anthropic researcher warnings caused a selloff in AI stocks.

• Nokia CEO Justin Hotard says AI data center demand remains strong.
• Hotard claims customers would build data centers 2x faster absent supply constraints.
• Supply constraints include shortages of memory chips and energy.
