The US administration’s plans to accelerate the construction of data centers needed for the development of artificial intelligence technologies are facing opposition from many Americans, Bloomberg reports, citing sources and public opinion polls.
According to the agency, proponents of artificial intelligence among US officials believe the technology will be crucial to the future growth of the country’s economy.
However, further AI development requires the construction of large-scale data centers. Bloomberg notes that concerns are growing among Americans that such facilities could significantly increase electricity demand, place additional pressure on power grids and ultimately drive up energy prices.
According to a Fox News poll released in late July, seven out of ten American voters said they would not support the construction of an AI data center near where they live.
Bloomberg also notes that US President Donald Trump regularly highlights the country’s achievements in artificial intelligence and actively supports the development of new data centers.
