Three primary factors are likely to drive these\n      potential benefits, in their view.\n    <\/p>\n    <h4 class=\"h6\">1. Improved pricing power<\/h4>\n    <p>\n      Software companies are releasing standalone GenAI products for an additional\n      cost per user. Customers, in turn, are becoming increasingly willing to pay\n      for solutions that enhance their return on investment.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      For example, Microsoft Copilot integrates GenAI technology into the company\u2019s\n      suite of products, with pricing plans tailored for individuals, business\n      users, and enterprise deployments. Copilot has also been integrated into\n      GitHub, a Microsoft-owned software service company that helps developers\n      manage and collaborate on source code. In Q2 2024, 1.3 million GitHub Copilot\n      individual subscribers and over 50,000 business subscribers leveraged the\n      technology.\n    <\/p>\n    <h4 class=\"h6\">\n      2. Developer productivity enhancement and development cost reduction\n    <\/h4>\n    <p>\n      The greatest benefits of GenAI for software developers, according to a recent\n      study by McKinsey &amp; Company, are in expediting the manual work of coding,\n      jump-starting a first draft of code, and accelerating updates to existing\n      code. The study estimates software developers can complete coding tasks up to\n      twice as quickly by leveraging GenAI. But despite these advances, human\n      examination of the code for bugs and errors remains necessary.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Over time, leveraging GenAI capabilities should result in faster product\n      launches, enhanced features, better flexibility to resolve issues, and\n      ultimately, higher return on investment.\n    <\/p>\n    <h4 class=\"h6\">\n      3.

Though all types of cyberthreat actors\n      are already using AI to varying degrees, AI has lowered the barriers to entry\n      for novice cybercriminals and increased the global ransomware threat, in the\n      NCC\u2019s assessment.\n    <\/p>\n    <!-- SECTION -->\n    <h3>Internet<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      For Internet companies, GenAI will likely have the biggest end-market impact\n      in the area of digital marketing.

Unlike solar or wind power, gas power plants are able\n      to respond rapidly supply shortages and changes in demand.\n    <\/p>\n    <!-- SECTION -->\n    <h3>\n      Natural gas infrastructure (pipelines, storage, gathering, processing and\n      compression)\n    <\/h3>\n    <p>\n      To support incremental gas generation, capacity expansions on natural gas\n      pipelines are needed. Capacity expansion can take several forms, including\n      installing more compression stations to increase the volume of gas a pipeline\n      can carry, constructing lateral pipelines, and twinning or looping of existing\n      pipelines.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Natural gas infrastructure growth in the U.S. has lagged natural gas demand\n      growth over the past decade, pushing up pipeline utilization rates to\n      unsustainable levels. Kinder Morgan, which transports roughly 40 percent of natural\n      gas in the U.S., reported that its average pipeline utilization rate was 87 percent\n      in 2023, with pipelines sometimes running at 100 percent capacity.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      These infrastructure needs could provide attractive long-term growth\n      opportunities for pipeline companies. We think incumbent providers with\n      expansion capabilities and existing rights-of-way are best positioned to\n      benefit, as new-build pipe projects are often restricted by complex planning\n      approval processes.\n    <\/p>\n    <!-- ################### -->\n    <!-- PART -->\n    <h2>Industrials<\/h2>\n    <p class=\"italic\">\n      Several industrial sectors are likely to benefit from GenAI adoption,\n      including both industries that support the growth of AI and those that stand\n      to benefit directly from AI capabilities.\n    <\/p>\n    <!-- SECTION -->\n    <h3>Electrical solutions: liquid cooling<\/h3>\n    <p>\n      New and larger data centres house an ever greater number of servers in densely\n      spaced racks \u2013 specialised structures that hold multiple processing units,\n      storage devices, and related equipment. In operation, these racks generate\n      large amounts of heat that can reduce server performance and damage sensitive\n      components. As rack densities and power demands increase, interest in liquid\n      cooling solutions is growing.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      New solutions at scale require power in the mid-20 kilowatt (kW) range for\n      each server rack, with some densities already above that level, well beyond\n      the eight to 10 kW common in data centres today. In the 30 kW per rack range \u2013 where\n      NVIDIA is already operating test environments \u2013 liquid cooling emerges as the\n      more viable and cost-effective solution compared to traditional air cooling\n      systems.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      The focus on environmental sustainability by governments regulating the growth\n      of data centres is also contributing to the increased adoption of liquid\n      cooling solutions, which are more effective and use less energy.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Anecdotally, nVent, an electrical solutions company, believes that only five percent of\n      datacenters currently use liquid cooling, a technology whose use is growing\n      three times faster than that of legacy air cooling.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      At least $100 billion of investments in data centre projects have been\n      announced in North America since January 2023, according to RBC Capital\n      Markets, which notes that many will employ designs that accommodate liquid\n      cooling technologies.
