Data-Center Limits Will Hurt AI Boom, Alberta First Nations Say
Indigenous communities in Canada's Alberta province are pushing back on restrictions they say hinder investment in new data centers needed to power the growth of artificial intelligence.
The Enoch Cree, Alexis Nakota Sioux, Alexander and Paul First Nations sent a letter to the province's premier, Danielle Smith, saying recently announced limits on data-center access to the power grid will undermine their communities' efforts to generate revenue from the AI boom.
