Nokia CEO says data centers would be built '2x faster' without supply constraints
The Nokia CEO's comments underscores continued demand for AI even as top executives debate slowing down the pace of development.
Amazon has committed $1 billion over the next five years to improve communities near its data centers, AWS CEO Matt Garman announced. The company has also announced it will no longer require local governments to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when proposing data center projects. Garman's statement aims to counter common myths about data centers, such as water usage, energy costs, and pollution.
He argues that data centers account for a small percentage of water use and that the rise in US energy bills caused by data centers is misleading. Additionally, Garman highlights the pollution caused by backup diesel generators, which are often powered by fossil fuels. Garman emphasizes that data center operators are often the largest taxpayers in a community and contribute to various community services, but also notes that they are beneficiaries of tax cuts and credits.
