MUMBAI: The view from Indian engineer Tushar Shetty’s Mumbai apartment captures a tension playing out around the world as the artificial intelligence boom fuels an unprecedented data-center building spree, according to the source material.

What was once a stretch of lush greenery outside his 21st-floor window is now a scar of red earth where trees were felled to make way for an Amazon facility, the material states. That facility forms part of the tech giant’s planned $21 billion investment in AI infrastructure in India by 2030.

The source quotes Shetty as saying: “I would not have bought the h”. The quotation is unfinished in the supplied material and is not reproduced further.
