What happened
Drew Miller called on Congress to implement mandates and a moratorium on AI development. His report, put together by the Collapse Survival Institute, warns that AI data centers pose risks to nearby communities, citing concerns about noise, smog, and rising electricity costs. The report also warns that a malicious or misaligned AI could use data centers as a ground zero if it goes rogue.

Why it matters
The call for regulation directly impacts the ability of AI companies to build and expand data centers. If Congress imposes mandates, it could slow down AI industry growth and affect the demand for related computing infrastructure.
