✦AI Summary
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a one-year moratorium on new large-scale data centers to evaluate their impact on energy grids and the environment. The move aims to address rising utility costs and resource depletion associated with the high energy demands of AI infrastructure.
New York will block the construction of any new large data centres for up to a year so the state can create rules to protect the environment and energy grid from the power-hungry facilities that fuel artificial intelligence technology.
