More than half of Americans say they're more concerned than excited about the growing use of AI in daily life. That's one reason data center construction is becoming a major issue for the midterm elections.
The tech backlash picked up momentum this week as Meta agreed to a landmark settlement in a case brought by dozens of state AGs.
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence giants like OpenAI and Anthropic has exacerbated a deep malaise toward the tech sector, especially among people who have come to associate AI with job loss.
Concerns about the rise of artificial intelligence are growing in the U.S., with a recent report from the Pew Research Center indicating that this figure has risen from 37% in 2021 to 50%.
Opposition to data center construction is mounting, with groups like the Stop Data Centers Coalition pushing for a national moratorium on new projects.
Such protests have become a key issue in this year's midterm elections.
