Artificial intelligence is growing so fast that it is reshaping both the physical power grid and the computer code used to build everyday apps.
To keep its powerful AI chips running, Nvidia is investing heavily in the physical infrastructure that powers data centers. Data centers are large warehouses filled with computer servers that process AI tasks. Nvidia recently bought a small stake in Cloverleaf Infrastructure, a company founded in 2024 that helps connect these data centers to electricity grids. While the exact cost is secret, reports suggest Nvidia is spending more than $100 million on this deal. This comes right after Nvidia invested $1.5 billion in an Ohio energy project called SB Energy in 2025.
While the physical hardware needs power, the software side of AI is also changing how human programmers work. AI coding assistants, which are smart helper programs that write code, are making certain programming languages much more popular. Specifically, languages like JavaScript and TypeScript are seeing a massive surge. In 2025, TypeScript became the most popular language on GitHub, which is a website where developers store and share their code. Over 2.64 million people now use TypeScript every month, which is a 66% increase from 2024.
This matters to you because it changes how the apps on your phone and laptop are made. AI coding tools learn by reading existing code on the internet. Since most code is already written in JavaScript, the AI is incredibly good at writing it. This creates a loop: developers use more JavaScript because the AI is helpful, which then teaches the AI to get even better at it. For you, this means your favorite apps can be built and updated much faster.
Even though the complex math behind AI is still built using a language called Python, the parts you actually see and click on are built with JavaScript. From giant power grids to the code on your screen, AI is quietly rebuilding our modern world.
