Cerebras CEO says AI 'as an industry' has done a terrible job of selling data centers: 'We ought to pay our own way'
"There's no reason why we can't add these to communities and have the community benefit from it," Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman said.
TL;DR
- AI and tech companies should offer to build community structures beyond just data centers.
- Companies should be good neighbors by contributing to local communities and paying their own way, not burdening taxpayers.
- Data centers should be better stewards of local resources, particularly water, and employ closed-loop systems.
- The industry needs to address community concerns about the costs and benefits of AI infrastructure development.
- Many reported AI-related layoffs are 'AI-washed,' with job cuts actually stemming from past hiring decisions and realized productivity gains.
