一位数据隐私倡导者兼行业高管警告称，如果对人工智能数据中心的限制拖慢了美国国内的建设进度，美国人的敏感信息可能会越来越多地被送往海外处理。
此番警告发布之际，美国各州和地方政府正在权衡针对快速扩张的数据中心行业的新限制措施，原因是人们担忧电力成本、电网可靠性以及对周边社区的其他影响。
阿尔法计算公司首席执行官布里塔妮·凯撒表示，随着人工智能需求持续激增，各州对新建数据中心的禁令和限制可能会推动美国企业在其他国家寻求计算能力。
“作为一名顶级数据保护和隐私倡导者，我最担忧的问题之一是，美国各州通过的数据中心禁令将迫使美国民众和美国企业将我们的数据送往其他国家进行处理，”凯撒在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时说道。
“美国企业仍将运营其人工智能系统，”她补充道。“他们仍将在其他国家购买数据中心空间，这意味着我们的敏感信息将被送往海外，并可能与那些可能不把美国最佳利益放在心上的公司和组织共享。”

数据中心是装有服务器和计算设备的大型设施，用于处理、存储和传输许多日常技术背后的信息。它们支撑着从电子邮件、社交媒体和互联网搜索到网上银行、流媒体服务和人工智能平台等方方面面的运作。随着人工智能需求的增长，企业正在建造功能越来越强大的数据中心，这些中心需要大量电力、先进芯片和高速网络连接。
凯撒表示，这些设施已成为数字经济的关键基础设施，因此，关于数据中心选址以及谁能控制其处理的数据的决策，正日益成为经济和国家安全层面的关切问题。
然而，人工智能需要的计算能力要大得多，这推动了美国各地数据中心建设的快速扩张。

这种增长在一些社区引发了反弹，人们担忧电力成本、水资源消耗、噪音和环境影响。凯撒承认这些担忧，并表示企业应该接受旨在保护社区的“常识性监管”。
“并非所有公司建设数据中心的方式都一样，”她说。“有些公司比其他公司更负责任。”
凯撒表示，负责任的开发项目可以使用闭环水冷系统，并自主发电，而不是增加现有电网的负荷。
她说，阿尔法计算公司正在推进“离网、表后发电”的项目，这意味着这些设施将自行发电，而非依赖当地电网供应的电力。凯撒表示，这种做法旨在防止数据中心的巨大能源需求拖累现有基础设施，或导致附近居民的电费上涨。

该公司正在宾夕法尼亚州推进一个项目，该州州长乔希·夏皮罗最近对大型数据中心开发项目实施了新的要求。凯撒表示，阿尔法计算公司计划遵守这些规定，并对推动清洁能源的条款表示欢迎。
宾夕法尼亚州是越来越多应对数据中心快速扩张的州之一。在得克萨斯州，随着该州开发进程加速，州长格雷格·雅培已敦促数据中心提供更多自主发电能力，并承担基础设施成本。
其他州州长采取了更严厉的措施。纽约州民主党州长凯西·霍楚尔对新建超大规模数据中心实施了为期一年的禁令，因为各州都在应对电力成本、电网可靠性和开发速度方面的担忧。

但她警告称，大幅限制国内开发的政策可能会对美国在全球人工智能竞赛中的地位产生更广泛的影响。
“计算能力如今几乎已成为一种公共事业，”凯撒说道，她将国内计算基础设施的需求比作能源独立。
“我们希望拥有计算的权利，”她说。“我们希望能够在本国境内处理数据，这既是一项国家安全优先事项，也是为了保护我们自己的知识产权，确保我们不会将数据送往海外。”

凯撒发起了一场名为“计算权”的运动，倡导在制定可持续性标准和监管规定的同时，发展国内的数据中心产业。
“我们应该同时拥有能源独立和计算能力的权利，”她说，“这样美国民众和美国企业就能在本国境内处理我们所有的敏感数据。”

AI expert warns Americans’ sensitive data could be sent overseas as states crack down on data centers
Data privacy expert Brittany Kaiser says restrictions on data center development could force American companies to process information abroad, raising concerns over where sensitive data ends up.

Americans’ sensitive information could increasingly be processed overseas if restrictions on artificial intelligence data centers slow construction in the U.S., a data privacy advocate and industry executive warned.
The warning comes as states and local governments weigh new restrictions on the rapidly expanding data center industry amid concerns over electricity costs, grid reliability and other impacts on surrounding communities.
Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute, said state moratoriums and restrictions on new data centers could push American companies to seek computing capacity in other countries as demand from AI continues to surge.
“One of my top concerns as a top data protection and privacy advocate is that with data center moratoriums being passed in the United States that it will force Americans and American companies to send our data to be processed abroad in other countries,” Kaiser told Fox News Digital.
“American companies are going to still run their AI,” she added. “They’re still going to be purchasing data center space in other countries, and it means our sensitive information will be sent abroad and shared with companies and organizations that might not have America’s best interests at heart.”

Data centers are large facilities filled with servers and computing equipment that process, store and transmit information behind many everyday technologies. They support everything from email, social media and internet searches to online banking, streaming services and AI platforms. As demand for AI grows, companies are building increasingly powerful data centers that require vast amounts of electricity, advanced chips and high-speed network connections.
Kaiser said the facilities have become critical infrastructure for the digital economy, making decisions about where they are built and who controls the data they handle a matter of growing economic and national security concern.
Artificial intelligence, however, requires significantly more computing power, fueling a rapid expansion of data center construction across the country.

That growth has sparked pushback in some communities over concerns about electricity costs, water consumption, noise and environmental impacts. Kaiser acknowledged those concerns and said companies should be subject to “common sense regulation” designed to protect communities.
“Not all companies are doing it [building data centers] in the same way,” she said. “Some are more responsible than others.”
Kaiser said responsible developments can use closed-loop water cooling systems and generate power independently rather than increasing demand on the existing electrical grid.
Alpha Compute, she said, is pursuing projects designed to operate “off-grid, behind the meter,” meaning the facilities would generate their own power rather than relying on electricity supplied through the local grid. Kaiser said that approach is intended to prevent the massive energy demands of data centers from straining existing infrastructure or contributing to higher electricity costs for nearby residents.

The company is developing a project in Pennsylvania, where Gov. Josh Shapiro recently imposed new requirements on large data center developments. Kaiser said Alpha Compute plans to comply with the regulations and welcomed provisions promoting cleaner energy.
Pennsylvania is among a growing number of states confronting the rapid expansion of data centers. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has pushed data centers to provide more of their own power and shoulder infrastructure costs as development accelerates across the state.
Other governors have gone further. Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul imposed a one-year moratorium on new hyperscale data centers as states grapple with concerns over electricity costs, grid reliability and the pace of development.

But she cautioned that policies that significantly restrict domestic development could have broader consequences for America’s position in the global AI race.
“Compute power has now become nearly a utility,” Kaiser said, comparing the need for domestic computing infrastructure to energy independence.
“We want to have the right to compute,” she said. “We want to be able to process data within our own borders as a national security priority, but also for our own intellectual property to make sure we’re not sending our data abroad.”

Kaiser has launched a campaign called “Right to Compute,” advocating for domestic data center development alongside sustainability standards and regulation.
“We should have the right to both energy independence as well as compute power,” she said, “so that Americans and American companies can process all of our sensitive data within our own borders.”
