I’m a tad concerned that people are conflating “new large data centres”, “data centres”, and “AI”.
Yes, large scale “AI” needs new large datacentres and I fully understand the backlash.
But data centres are also needed for banking, and email, and web sites, and never used to be a problem.
So I hope any action against AI is more targeted and not just “close” or “tax until they close” all data centres.
