Cooling AI Factory: From System to Data Center Architecture

As AI infrastructure evolves toward rack-scale systems with unprecedented power density, cooling has become a critical architectural challenge rather than a supporting function. Traditional air-cooling approaches are reaching their practical limits as next-generation AI platforms demand higher thermal efficiency and system-level integration.
The presentation argues that cooling is no longer a supporting subsystem, but a foundational architectural element that directly determines AI infrastructure scalability, efficiency, and operational resilience.
