Trump attacks AI data centre critics, says they’ll end up ‘backwards and poor’
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday attacked opponents of artificial intelligence data centers, saying they would end up “backwards and poor” and were helping rival China.
A backlash against the energy-guzzling centers has become a surprise issue in November’s US midterm elections, with Trump at odds with many Republicans.
Polls show a majority of Americans are now against building the centers, amid complaints about rising electricity bills and noise from the facilities.
