Government is Putting AI Before People and the Planet
Matt Haugen
Notes
Governments are prioritizing data centers at the expense of communities and the planet, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Matt Haugen joins Paris Marx to discuss how national strategies are dismantling environmental protections while enriching a handful of megacorporations, and what an alternative agenda could look like.
Guest
Matt Haugen is Research and Editorial Manager at the Climate and Community Institute.
