The AI revolt in Maga-land

Swamp Notes

About this episode

When it comes to data centres, the Trump administration has been urging AI companies to “build, baby, build”. But the White House’s agenda is facing resistance from an unlikely place: the very states that won Donald Trump the presidency.


The FT’s Joe Miller went on a road trip to Missouri to talk to some AI sceptics.
