"In my role at UBC, I have been privy to governmental discussions on the benefits and risks of AI – and I remain skeptical that we really need more data centres," says UBC Computer Science Professor Raymond Ng in a new Op-Ed. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: New data centres need to be built for the right reasons
Rather than profits, construction of these problematic centres should be regulated and approved based on their public benefit
