Season 9, Episode 07
This week on the “Know More. Risk Better.” podcast, host Winnie Cisar brings together CreditSights’ dream team—Andy DeVries, Jordan Chalfin, Andy Li, and Erick Vega—for an energetic roundtable on all things AI, data centers, and the infrastructure boom reshaping the tech landscape. The team tackles the hyperscaler spending spree, the race to build out data centers, and the unprecedented electricity demand that’s shaking up the utilities sector.

Winnie and her guests debate whether we’re headed for overbuild or opportunity, share insights on how private credit is fueling the AI gold rush, and weigh in on risks—from identity theft to supply chain hiccups. They break down the impact of AI on jobs, discuss the shifting roles of tech and utility players, and highlight the weak links and hidden challenges in the AI value chain. With practical takeaways, candid analysis, and predictions for the next 12–18 months, this episode is a must-listen for anyone tracking AI, data infrastructure, utilities, or the future of work.

If you’re following the AI arms race, data center development, or the quest to power the digital economy, tune in for expert perspectives and lively debate from the front lines.
