  "summary": "TechCrunch reports that Amazon has decided to stop using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when negotiating data center deals with local governments, following a similar move by Microsoft earlier this year. This new transparency measure comes in the wake of community backlash against AI infrastructure, which has led to numerous moratoriums on such projects from New York to San Francisco. The change is seen as an attempt to build trust with local communities and address concerns surrounding the deployment of AI infrastructure. However, the article questions whether this move will truly change the landscape of data center deals and if trust is the actual product that personal AI startups should focus on building.",
