Episode Details

New York just hit pause on new big data centers for up to a year — the first state to do so — as Governor Hochul pushes for smarter, greener AI infrastructure. With an executive order, she’s blocking state permits and demanding strict environmental and energy standards to protect residents from soaring bills and resource drain. Critics warn it could hurt tech jobs and U.S. competitiveness, but the governor argues New Yorkers shouldn’t pay the price for corporate growth. She’s also targeting tax breaks for these centers and pushing for broader digital safety, all while using fast-moving executive power to lead the nation in responsible innovation.
