00:00Artificial intelligence has changed the way we work, the way we learn, the way we communicate, the way we do
00:06business, and it has sparked a heated debate over the rapid construction of massive energy-guzzling infrastructure that's needed to
00:16power the industry.
00:18These hyper-scale AI data centers consume enormous amounts of power, truly threatening to outpace our bridge capacity, and they
00:29drive up costs for local ratepayers.
00:32And I refuse to let those costs be passed on to New Yorkers, who already pay too much for the
00:39utility bills.
00:40These data centers require millions of gallons of water, screening the local supplies.
00:47And when powered by fossil fuels, they drive up our carbon footprint.
00:53We occupy massive amounts of land, potentially displacing agricultural space and open spaces.
01:01If you live near one, they emit vibrations and noise ranging from annoying to loud. The sound is so loud,
01:11it's deaf.
01:12How are you saying?
01:19How are you saying?
01:21What are you saying?
01:21Is that better, and you will give us a warning, you will have to train your car, listen up to
01:22all the things you want.
01:22If you have gone, you will have to train your car and do Google.
01:23It is easy for a while.
01:23I'm saying that people who are driving me to an airport, are driving me to an airport...
01:23I'm saying that people aren't on their way, right?
