Ideas on Tap: AI Boom

Ideas on Tap: AI Boom (What data centers mean for our jobs, water, energy, and our communities) Data centers are appealing to city leaders as exciting new investments, but AI data centers use large amounts of water, land, and electricity. So what does that mean for our communities? Join us for a conversation about how the AI boom is changing cities, who benefits, who pays the costs, the environmental impacts, and what questions we should be asking. No tech background needed. Just bring your curiosity. We will be giving away 10 copies of the book “Empire of AI” by Karen Hao on a first come, first serve basis. Sons of Hermann Hall Sunday, July 12th | 12:30 – 2:00 PM Free & open to the public
