00:00Falling AI stocks haven't stopped strong demand to fund the technology's data centers.
00:05Goldman Sachs, Chief David Solomon, says demand for financing remains strong despite the Wall
00:10Street sell-off. He expects deal-making to stay healthy through the rest of the year.
00:15But investors are questioning whether huge spending on artificial intelligence
00:19will produce enough money. For communities near proposed data centers,
00:23electricity demand and pressure on local infrastructure are also concerns.
00:27So continued financing doesn't mean every project will succeed.
00:31Reuters says lenders are examining borrowers' cash flows,
00:35construction deadlines, and customer commitments more closely.
00:38Goldman Sachs has warned that higher financing costs could affect some projects.
00:43Solomon says blocking American data center construction could push investment overseas.
00:48For now, money is still available to finance the building.
00:51The bigger question is whether these costly projects can earn enough to justify their price.
