🇺🇸 Trump: Reject AI data centers and risk becoming “backwards and poor”

🇺🇸 Trump: Reject AI data centers and risk becoming “backwards and poor” Trump says communities that reject data centers are essentially choosing to fall behind, arguing that these facilities can bring jobs, investment and lower taxes. Trump also warned that resistance to data center construction could benefit China, saying the country “could not be happier” about the growing backlash. Communities across the U.S. are increasingly pushing back because massive AI data centers can consume huge amounts of electricity and water, while residents worry about higher utility bills, noise and the local environmental impact. More than 70% of Americans surveyed say they don’t want a data center near their home. Source. @aipost 🏴
