The Vice Chair of the White House AI/Super Intelligence Task Force, Scott Kupor, has expressed his views on the approach data center builders should take when dealing with local communities.
What happened
During an interview, Kupor stated that data center builders should agree to handle water and energy prices, rather than relying on non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). He believes that this approach would help alleviate concerns and anxiety among local communities.
Kupor suggested that data center providers could offer rate guarantees to address concerns about water and electricity prices. He also proposed that the industry could work with local community colleges to train people for jobs that will be created once the data centers are operational.
Kupor emphasized that relying on NDAs is not an effective approach, as it does not address the underlying concerns of local communities. Instead, he advocates for a more transparent and collaborative approach, where data center providers work with local communities to address their concerns and provide benefits such as job training and rate guarantees.
