AI compute is fundamentally different from traditional compute, making it a new type of infrastructure. Digital strategy consultant Jeffrey Towson states that every company must now consider AI compute as part of its core digital transformation strategy. This shift requires understanding AI compute not as a commodity but as a strategic, scalable asset.
AI data centers are the foundational infrastructure for artificial intelligence, representing a massive and complex physical layer of processors, power, and fiber optics. This infrastructure is becoming a critical component of every company’s digital transformation strategy as AI capabilities become essential. According to digital strategy consultant Jeffrey Towson, understanding this physical base is the first step to grasping the entire AI tech stack.
Digital strategy consultant Jeffrey Towson breaks down AI infrastructure into three distinct layers: AI apps, AI SaaS, and AI data centers. Understanding this structure is crucial for any business leader developing a digital transformation strategy. He argues that while the application layer is the most visible, the underlying infrastructure layers are where the foundational battles and immense value are being created.

The core argument is that AI is transitioning from a passive tool to an active, goal-oriented partner, creating a new agentic AI operating model. This represents a fundamental shift for digital transformation strategy, moving beyond simple task automation. According to digital strategy consultant Jeffrey Towson, this new model is becoming the central operating system for the entire enterprise.
The Agentic AI Operating Model is the next digital transformation strategy, moving beyond simple AI tools to a system of autonomous AI agents that work alongside humans. According to digital strategy consultant Jeffrey Towson, this model consists of four integrated components: the AI Agent Layer, the AI Coordination Layer, the Human Coordination Layer, and the Operating Rhythm. This framework enables companies to fundamentally redesign their operations around the new capabilities of AI.
