Data Centers (Robots) v. Humans: Who Will Win?

Data centers in the United States are rapidly expanding, which leaves many Americans in rural communities (where many of these data centers are being planted) feeling unhappy. Listen to The Spectacle Podcast hosts Scott McKay and Melissa Mackenzie as they debate the feasibility of these massive projects. Scott details the implications of Meta’s $27 billion data center in Louisiana, which is drawing a lot of attention for its environmental impacts due to its huge usage of water and electricity. Melissa and Scott examine the arguments made for and against these AI centers and raise concerns for potential government control and what it means for AI development going forward. Tune in to hear their discussion!
