Former NSA director Paul Nakasone says the US will need data centres for cybersecurity work against China, Russia and Iran, despite concerns about their effects. He made the comments in a keynote at a cybersecurity conference, PCMag reports.
Why it mattersNakasone’s point is a reminder that data centres are not only an AI-industry talking point: they are also computing infrastructure for security operations. The report does not give further detail about the specific systems or projects he had in mind.
Discuss: When data centres bring local costs but support national security work, should communities have the final say on whether they are built?
