As the world positions for the global data centre build-out, Southern Cross AI (SCX.ai) has built a platform to operate AI models within Australia's existing commercial data centres. "Australians need AI that is servicing Australians, not Australians servicing AI." The broader AI infrastructure as a service (IaaS) market is expected to grow to $177.4 billion globally by 2030, surging from just $15 billion in spending in 2025.
