So here is something to think about: when big technology decisions are being made, whose voices do you think should be heard the most?
AI, data center alarms dominate Congressional Black Caucus week in Washington
AI and data center concerns took center stage at the Congressional Black Caucus annual gathering in Washington. Groups both for and against AI showed up to share their views, alongside discussions about redistricting.
This week in Washington, a big annual gathering took place. It is called Congressional Black Caucus week. And this year, one topic came up again and again: artificial intelligence. People who support AI were there. People who are worried about AI were there too. Both sides wanted lawmakers to hear them. Data centers also caused concern. Data centers are the giant buildings that power AI and the internet. Some communities worry about what these buildings mean for their neighborhoods. On top of all that, people talked about redistricting. That is the process of redrawing voting maps. All of these topics matter a lot to Black communities across the country. Lawmakers had a lot to think about. AI is growing fast, and decisions made now could shape life for millions of people for years to come.
