I recently sat down with Robert Stevenson, an engineer whose career has spanned wind farm energy storage, smart city infrastructure, and the emerging world of AI data centres. Robert has worked across Australia and Asia, including Singapore, India, and China, bringing a rare systems-level perspective to how energy, computation, and design intersect.
We talk about the evolution of smart cities and the growing energy challenge of artificial intelligence, from the power density of NVIDIA’s GPU roadmap to the realities of cooling, sustainability, and grid resilience. And then we explore what happens when these forces converge.
It’s a conversation that connects the dots between energy, architecture, and intelligence and what it means for the future of how we build, power, and govern our connected world. Have a listen.
