While some politicians like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis propose Citizens' Bills of Rights for AI, others, such as Senator Bernie Sanders, call for national moratoriums on data center construction. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has already imposed a one-year moratorium.
“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, of course, has proposed a new Citizens' Bill of Rights for AI.”
“Senator Bernie Sanders called for a national data center moratorium.”
“And here in New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, not usually thought of as a hardcore populist, just imposed a one-year moratorium on data center construction.”
