Buying your way into an AI factory will be an expensive way to learn. Deloitte found that 73% of surveyed US enterprise leaders expect at-scale AI factory deployment by 2028. That means a lot of companies are about to move from AI infrastructure planning into AI infrastructure commitment. The mistake will be treating this like a hardware purchase. More GPUs, bigger racks, more budget, more capacity. That’s the easy part. The hard part is the system around it: power contracts, cooling strategy, hosting model, staffing, security, workload orchestration, utilization, failover, and the skills required to keep production workloads alive. The money is already moving. Deloitte found that 86% of respondents expect AI infrastructure budgets to rise over the next three years, with budgets expected to more than triple on average. At that scale, a weak procurement decision becomes an operating problem very quickly. AI factory planning needs one owner across the full value chain. Otherwise the handoffs will become the build.
