Are Data Center Moratoriums the Wrong Fight?

A Conversation with Holly Jean Buck

Holly Buck is a professor at the University of Buffalo who thinks carefully about AI, energy, and what it would mean to build technology in the public interest. In this conversation, we talk about why data center moratoriums may be the wrong lever, what's behind the left's deep skepticism toward AI, and how a pre-distributive politics that works towards the democratization of tech might offer a more productive path forward.
