A Korean investment group, Stock Farm Road, is partnering with Voltai, an AI developer backed by Stanford University, to build the world's first fully AI-designed and operated data center, set for completion in 2028. The initiative, named "Project Concord," aims to integrate artificial intelligence into every aspect of data center construction and operations—from design and construction to power and water resource management. Human oversight will be limited to a supervisory role, with AI making all critical decisions.
Stock Farm Road was co-founded by Koo Bon-woong, grandson of LG Group founder Koo In-hoe, and Amin Badr-El-Din, founder and CEO of BADR Investments. If completed as planned, the data center will cost an estimated $35 billion (approximately 249.21 billion yuan at current exchange rates) and deliver a power capacity of 3 gigawatts (GW). In comparison, conventional data centers rarely exceed 1 GW per site, making Project Concord a groundbreaking endeavor in scale and ambition.
