Sen. Bernie Sanders is calling for a national moratorium on data-centre development, while other Democratic lawmakers are urging limits on the AI build-out after the US midterms, CNBC reports.
Why it mattersSanders’s demand is national, while Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa had promised a pause on approvals in her state. Neither call is an enacted restriction. But the debate over AI’s power-hungry infrastructure is now being pressed at both national and state level.
Discuss: Should data-centre rules be set nationally, or left to states and communities dealing with the costs?
