Several hundred activists occupied the site of a planned Microsoft data centre in Amsterdam during a two-day protest, France 24 reports. The broadcaster also says Democrats are calling for tighter regulation of AI data centres, with similar concerns being raised across Europe.
Why it mattersIt is a concrete sign that arguments over AI infrastructure are reaching the places asked to host it. A data centre may run on servers, but its neighbours still get a say in what happens next.
Discuss: Should local communities be able to stop data-centre projects outright, or should governments be able to override local opposition for infrastructure they consider nationally important?
