Poll: 61% of voters oppose AI data centers, but neither major party holds advantage
A New York Times and Siena University survey of 1,503 likely voters found majority opposition to data center construction for AI, with no clear partisan edge emerging.
A New York Times and Siena University poll released Tuesday found that 61 percent of 1,503 likely voters surveyed oppose construction of data centers to power AI technology, according to The Verge. The finding reflects growing public skepticism toward both AI development and the infrastructure required to support it.
The survey results indicate politicians across party lines are responding to voter concerns about AI and data centers, though neither major party has established a clear political advantage on the issue, The Verge reports.
