from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
The rise of generative AI is reshaping our culture in many ways, but it’s also reshaping our city.

So what kind of a neighbor will this new CoreSite data center be? CPR climate reporter Sam Brasch joins host Bree Davies to discuss everything you need to know about the data centers popping up down the block.
