Speeding up AI development: U.S.picks government locations for new data centers.
Reading
The US government wants to let tech companies build data centers at 16 places, like old nuclear labs. These places already have lots of power and can get permission to build more quickly.
This helps tech companies make AI technology faster, as AI needs a lot of power. Both President Biden and President Trump support this idea.
Some of the possible places are Los Alamos, Sandia, and Oak Ridge, which are famous science labs. Data centers are like big computer rooms that run things like email, social media, and now AI.
AI needs a lot more power than regular computers, and the amount of power used by data centers keeps growing. One report says data centers could use 12% of all the electricity in the US by 2028.
The government wants to use clean energy like solar, wind, and nuclear power for these new data centers. They are asking companies for ideas on how to use different energy sources at each place.
