Map tracks data centers and AI policy

An interactive map created by Isabelle Reksopuro visualizes data center construction and AI policy, aiming to combat misinformation. Reksopuro developed the tool after hearing conflicting reports about Google's land acquisition for data centers in Oregon. The map highlights the complex relationship between tech companies, local governments, and public resources, using The Dalles' pursuit of land near Mount Hood National Forest as an example. This initiative seeks to provide clarity on the growing infrastructure demands driven by AI and technology.
