TechCrunch: Meta steals a tactic from Tesla and builds data centers in tents. “In a bid to cut construction time in half, Meta has built six tents — or “rapid deployment structures” as the company describes them — outside of New Albany, Ohio, according to Michael Thomas, founder of Cleanview, which tracks data center deployments.”
Gizmodo: A Farmer Donated Land for a Public Park and the City Sold It to a Data Center Developer for $10 Million. “When news of the sale broke, locals were initially concerned for the usual reasons one might have when learning that a 135,000-square-foot facility—the sort now known to wreak havoc on small towns—is being built next door without their approval or input. But thanks to the sharp memory of Pamela Griffin, a City of Taylor resident who grew up playing in a lot next to the contested land, data center opponents were clued in to the deed’s park clause and the legal leverage that might afford their fight.”
The Guardian: Majority of US’s new AI datacenters to be built on drought-hit land. “A record-shattering drought has racked much of the US. But the artificial intelligence industry is pushing ahead regardless, with the majority of planned datacenters set to be built in drought-ridden locations, a Guardian analysis has found.”
AI IN EDUCATION

Florida State University: FSU alumni launch AI startup to make legislation more accessible. “Florida State University alumni are using artificial intelligence to help make legislation easier to understand. Their startup, Delilah, is an AI-powered platform that summarizes complex bills and allows users to ask questions about proposed laws through a conversational interface. Founded by recent FSU graduates with experience in government and public policy, the company has gained national attention, reaching the Top 100 on the App Store.”
AI LEGISLATION
Spectrum News 1: N.Y. lawmakers pass bill requiring disclaimers on AI use in published news content. “The bill, which still needs the governor’s signature to become law, requires clear disclaimers when artificial intelligence is used in any published news content.

Associated Press: Ads in New York must now label AI-generated ‘synthetic performers’. “Any advertisements in New York that feature artificial intelligence-generated people in place of actors will now be violating state law if they don’t clearly label that they have used a ‘synthetic performer.’ The law, signed in December by Gov.

The Verge: AI ‘content creators’ are getting harder to spot. “Early AI influencers stood out because there were so few of them.

Wall Street Journal: Meta launches ‘Workforce Academy’ to train workers to build data centers. This is an MSN-syndicated version of the article and has no paywall. “The five-week training program, in partnership with CBRE and the Associated Builders and Contractors, is free of charge and guarantees graduates a job at a Meta data-center construction site, the company said.”

RESEARCH & OPINION
This is Reno: Editorial: False equivalencies and other data center flexes. “Council member Meghan Ebert was correct to again raise this issue that Council member Devon Reese appears to have had a change of heart on data centers because he is now running for mayor. Mayor Hillary Schieve, however, poo-pooh’ed Ebert’s comments, as she often does, but Ebert is correct.
