Collins' opponent, Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, has not weighed in on data centers on the campaign trail. Collins sent a letter in April to FERC requesting an investigation into how data centers affect consumers' electric bills.
Anthropic temporarily paused some AI training and cybersecurity evaluations, the company said in a blog post today detailing changes made after unauthorized actions by its agents earlier this year. Why it matters: Rival OpenAI said it had paused some model work due to safety concerns. Now, we know Anthropic did the same — and they're reiterating the need for a broader pacing of frontier AI development. Driving the news: Anthropic said it paused external cyber evaluations of pre-release models after three incidents it disclosed in July, and also briefly paused its own in-house tests of pre-release models. - The company also paused higher-risk reinforcement-learning environments on pre-release models for several weeks after the…
Amid a backlash, Gov. Josh Shapiro is pumping the brakes on enormous data centers. But in a region scarred by the collapse of the steel industry, some welcome billions in construction.
‘If we kill the Golden Goose’
Americans’ opposition to data centers in their local communities has grown, based on recent polling.
President Trump continues to champion data centers and says it will make America richer, yet concerns continue to pour in from Americans nationwide. So will more data centers help or hurt our nation? That's on the debate floor with host Batya Ungar-Sargon and Democratic strategist Madeline Summerville. "Prove It with Batya!" puts the hottest takes to the test as Batya Ungar-Sargon and guests from across the political spectrum make their case LIVE in a debate driven by facts (not just feelings). Viewers of the live stream join in with questions, data, and real-life experiences from across America, before casting their vote on who was able to "Prove It!" better.

AI has an image problem . And one way to fix it is for top companies to dive headlong into health care. Why it matters: Saving the world with AI-designed cures is better than being blamed for ruining the environment or driving up Americans' utility bills. - But even the most advanced AI models can't produce miracle treatments at the moment — and could create serious security risks if they try. - That could set up a fraught debate over the next two or three years about the allocation of resources and whether the benefits of throwing vast amounts of computing capacity into medical research outweigh the costs. Driving the news: The Wall Street Journal reported this month that Anthropic was trying to shore up investor confidence ahead…
