AI is reshaping how the world computes, powers and builds critical infrastructure. At Switch, we’re helping define that evolution, from purpose-built AI Factories to rethinking the relationship between compute demand and energy systems. As Founder and CEO of Switch, Rob Roy has spent more than two decades designing infrastructure for the future, anticipating shifts in computing, energy and global demand long before they became mainstream conversations.
That long-term perspective was on full display during a recent Axios Fireside Chat at the Schneider Electric Innovation Summit, where Rob Roy sat down with Axios reporter Ben Geman to discuss the intersection of AI, energy and next-generation infrastructure. In the conversation, Rob Roy addressed some of the most pressing questions facing the industry today—from whether AI is a bubble, to how data centers can strengthen the power grid, to how AI energy needs will accelerate commercial fusion power by “two or three decades.”
Below, you can watch the full Axios interview as Rob Roy outlines why AI is not just transforming data centers—but accelerating an energy renaissance that will shape the decades ahead.
