This piece surfaces a critical shift: AI workloads can become grid assets, but only if we first interpret their elasticity. Today, most data centres treat compute jobs as equally rigid, when in reality, many can flex with no impact on service. In my opinion, the real blocker isn't technical but interpretive. Without a shared "Elasticity Profile" for workloads, we can't coordinate, price, or trust flexibility. Solving this unlocks a quiet and high-leverage tool for resilience & grid-aware AI.
