Bill Tai, venture capitalist and board chair at Hut8, and Sanjay Gupta, chief strategy officer at Auradine Inc., join theCUBE’s John Furrier during theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Robotics & AI Infrastructure Leaders 2025 event to discuss the infrastructure realities behind robotics and AI’s explosive growth. Their conversation unpacks the critical intersection of decentralization, energy innovation and data center evolution.

Gupta outlines shifts in Bitcoin mining and semiconductor design as key drivers of infrastructure demand, especially as robotics and AI intensify hardware strain. Tai highlights the staggering energy implications of future deployments, with power requirements poised to rival residential usage on a national scale.

The discussion captures how capital, compute and climate considerations are converging in this next era of infrastructure design. The conversation offers a clear perspective from both the strategic investment and hardware innovation fronts.
