The companies racing to build AI factories are rethinking their plans in order to win back the trust of Americans.

Trump said earlier this week U.S. communities will be “backwards and poor” if they do not approve data centers.

It is not just Guthrie and fellow Republicans who have found the Energy and Commerce committee a helpful place to test data center messaging. Pallone and fellow Democrats, too, have used hearings to hone their response to the issue.

"We have to be very careful about where and how we install these large data centers," said Kasey Fowler-Finn, a biologist at St. Louis University, who is among a group suing to halt a data center development.

A SPECTRE IS haunting America—the spectre of data centres. The computer-filled warehouses powering America’s boom in artificial intelligence have become less popular than almost every other kind of infrastructure—even nuclear-power plants.

A multimillion-dollar campaign is trying to reverse the trend of the public's growing disdain for AI data centers.

The rapid growth of data centers is raising questions about electricity use, water consumption, environmental impacts, and where these facilities should be built.

Data debt is the accumulated cost of every shortcut ever taken in data modeling, integration, quality, lineage and access.

A new Federal Reserve report finds that data centers were responsible for a manufacturing boost in recent weeks.
