Why Amazon and Microsoft Are Taking Communities’ Side Against Utilities
Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle and other AI data center developers are sweetening financial offers to municipalities and regulators to gain approval for new facilities. They’re also getting smarter about standing up for consumers against utilities that have proposed to make the public pay for some of the cost of handling new electricity loads. The tech giants still face years of local fights as activists ignore the money offered and ramp up their objections, but the companies are offering more tangible benefits instead of just refining their messages in information wars.

Big Tech Is Incapable of Solving Its Own Problem, Says Mukunda
Bill Gates, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft Corp., published a 6,000-word essay on Aug. 26 saying that he would slow the development of artificial intelligence if he could. He elaborated in an interview with the New York Times, saying “in private, people who understand how good this stuff is, and how much better it’s getting, they’re very worried” but few are raising the issues in public. The public is already convinced the tech industry can’t be trusted with its own creations. Some legal news last week explains why. A bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general announced a proposed settlement with Meta Platforms Inc. that obligates the social media company that runs Facebook and Instagram to put tight restrictions on how children use its platforms. Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at the Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, joins Bloomberg Intelligence to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
