As AI explodes and data centers devour electricity and water like a billion people, this ocean-based approach promises cooling efficiency and local green power. But experts caution: long-term performance is unproven, and marine life risks like thermal pollution and noise loom large.

Rising costs, political campus concerns, and doubts about job readiness are eroding confidence. Yet, those who still believe point to colleges’ role in building critical thinking and employability. Experts warn that in an AI-driven world, skills like communication and judgment are more vital than ever—and schools must bridge the gap between theory and real-world impact to win back public trust.
