Trump goes scorched earth on AI warnings, raging about data center opposition and regulation
President Trump publicly attacked opposition to data center construction and AI regulation, taking an aggressive stance in favor of rapid AI infrastructure expansion with fewer restrictions.
Why this matters: When the president frames safety warnings as obstacles, the people who raise them get sidelined. AI regulation is not just a business issue. It determines who is accountable when these systems go wrong, whose data gets used to build them, and whether communities near data centers get any say at all. Scorched-earth politics does not make those questions disappear. It just makes them harder to answer.
