Democratsâ historic victories in this weekâÂÂs U.S. midterm elections could also transform the tech industry.
The public voted on 41 data center-related ballot measures on Tuesday â in all but one, the majority voted to impose more restrictions on data center development. And even when data centers werenâÂÂt on the ballot directly, they were a major talking point, with newly-elected Democratic governors and congressmembers likely to support additional regulation.
On the latest episode of TechCrunchâÂÂs Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean OâÂÂKane, and Anthony Ha discuss what the election will mean for the tech industry moving forward â not just when it comes to data centers (which OpenAI is already trying to rebrand), but also increased government scrutiny of Big Tech.
