The Tudor Dixon Podcast: Benji Backer on AI Data Centers, Big Tech & America’s Future

As artificial intelligence expands at a historic pace, massive data centers are appearing across America — but what impact are they having on our communities, resources, and way of life? In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Benji Backer, founder of Nature Is Nonpartisan and United by Nature, to discuss the growing concerns surrounding AI data centers, Big Tech’s influence, energy demand, water usage, and the future of conservation in America. Benji explains why the debate over the environment should not be divided by politics, why communities deserve a voice before major technology projects move in, and how America can balance innovation, national security, economic growth, and protecting natural resources. Tudor and Benji also dive into the deeper questions surrounding AI, online privacy, social media addiction, America’s relationship with technology, and why reconnecting with family, community, and nature may be more important than ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
