FOX Business' Madison Alworth reports on New York's statewide pause on large-scale AI data centers, with concerns about falling behind China in the AI arms race.
Governor Kathy Hochul's New York state-wide pause on large-scale AI data centers sparks a contentious debate, as critics, including some Democrats, warn of the U.S. falling behind China in the global AI arms race. Hochul justifies the ban by citing the state's already overtaxed energy grid. However, Energy Secretary Chris Wright argues data centers are crucial tools for lowering electricity prices by encouraging investment in energy infrastructure.
