Ep 54: Data Farms & Adapting to the AI Age

Get ready for a deep dive into the engine room of the AI revolution on tonight’s Information Pack Show!

We’re unpacking AI data farms, the massive server warehouses powering artificial intelligence, machine learning, and maybe even quantum computing.

From self-driving cars to cancer-fighting algorithms, these facilities are driving a future that’s already here. But they come with a catch: guzzling water, straining power grids, and reshaping communities.

With 5,426 data centers in the U.S. and thousands more planned, we’ll explore the challenges, think 355 million gallons of water used by Google in Oregon alone and 12% of U.S. power by 2028.

How do we adapt with smarter tech like liquid cooling and renewables? How do we coexist without sacrificing our homes, health, or peace? And when Big Tech or the government overreaches, how do we push back?

From community wins in Virginia to practical solutions like zoning buffers and transparency demands, we’ll show you how to shape an AI future that serves people, not just profits.

Join us to unpack the stakes, rally for fairness, and ask: Are we building an AI future for the people, or for the machines and their masters?
