If you read the article, it isn't about AI.
It's used to cool lithography machines which produce all CPUs, GPUs, RAM, etc. The entire world of electronics is built on the output of these lithography machines.
The headline may as well say "Iran War Chokes Off Helium Supply Critical for Skibidi Toilet memes" Helium isn't used in AI datacenters, it has nothing to do with AI outside of the fact that every processor is made using lithography.
What a dishonest headline...
It wasn't technically wrong, but it was deliberately misleading...
Also, I'm so glad I bought my hardware when I did...
