Taking part in a podcast with Shahril Hamdan, Oxford economist Amir Lebdioui said governments should establish technology foresight units to monitor emerging innovations and assess whether alternatives could become commercially viable in the future. PETALING JAYA: Countries investing heavily in data centres and critical mineral processing risk losing money if emerging technologies reduce demand for what they are building, Oxford economist Amir Lebdioui has warned.
Amir said governments should weigh the long-term risks before committing billions to industries that could change dramatically within a decade.
"I think it's quite unlikely that data centres in 10 years will look the same as today,” the Algerian national said in a podcast with Shahril Hamdan.
