The findings are particularly alarming, the scientists say, because AI data centers are set to boom over the next few years
Citation needed, CNN. This is a good reason not to build them, but right now, data center construction is stalling:
Only 5GW of data center construction is actually in progress globally at this time, despite somewhere between 190GW and 240GW supposedly being in progress.
...and may this trend continue.
