AI Data Centers: Powering America’s Future or Creating a New Problem? AI is advancing at breakneck speed, but can America build the infrastructure needed to stay ahead?

John Rush talks with Devin Soni, CEO and founder of Vertical Data, about the rapidly growing demand for AI data centers and why he believes they could ultimately strengthen, not strain, American communities.

Soni tackles concerns about electricity costs, water use, aging power grids, jobs, regulation, and massive data-center developments, while explaining how the next generation of smaller, more efficient facilities could bring investment to overlooked communities and even breathe new life into abandoned industrial properties.

They also examine the bigger battle: America’s technology race with China and what could happen if regulation, fear, or misinformation slows U.S. innovation. Are AI data centers a burden, or could they become one of America’s biggest technological and economic advantages?
