In a Connecticut Mirror opinion column, adjunct professor Kevin Donohue argues that people should press local lawmakers over AI safety and the siting of data centres. His case is that public pressure may matter where national action is slow.
Why it mattersThe piece treats existential danger from advanced AI as a serious possibility, not an established outcome. It is an argument for regulation and local action, rather than evidence that catastrophe is imminent. The question for readers is whether local pressure can meaningfully shape AI policy, or whether it risks turning a complex debate into a fight over the nearest data-centre proposal.
Discuss: Should people push local lawmakers to act on AI safety and data-centre growth, or should those decisions be made through national policy?
