In the United States, where large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure is being rapidly developed, the operation and maintenance tasks within data centers are incredibly demanding.

His responsibilities include being vigilant for any signs of burnt odors—a potential indicator of equipment malfunction—and ensuring that birds haven't caused any damage to the sensitive hardware.
