Harvard professor Jill Lepore says artificial intelligence and data centers are playing a prominent role in US elections, amid growing public opposition to the facilities.
According to Lepore, their environmental impact is a particularly important concern for many people. She also argues that data centers do not generate many Jobs, adding to resistance toward their expansion.
Her comments describe a political backlash in the United States as debates over AI increasingly include questions about infrastructure, environmental consequences and local employment.
