People can share their opinions on data centers and artificial intelligence when a North Dakota legislative committee meets again Monday to address those topics.
Committee Meeting Details and Purpose
The North Dakota Artificial Intelligence and Data Center Committee is holding a public meeting on Monday at the Capitol to gather opinions on data centers and artificial intelligence. The agenda includes presentations from policy experts, the energy industry, and state utility and pollution regulators, with a dedicated slot for public comment scheduled for 11:15 a.m. This committee, announced in June, has been established to study the pros and cons of AI and the impact of data centers, several of which are proposed in North Dakota due to the state's cool climate, access to power, and abundant land. Previous meetings have covered topics such as AI regulation, its use in education, risks to youth, and public concerns regarding data center developments.
