#Datalighting

I’m coining a term for something Alberta is becoming a prime example of:

Datalighting — selling the public on jobs, AI, investment and data sovereignty while obscuring the deeper role of data centres in creating massive new energy demand.

Dictionary-style definition card for the coined term “Datalighting.” It defines datalighting as promoting data centres through benefits such as jobs, technology, AI, investment and data sovereignty while obscuring their role in creating large-scale energy demand, especially fossil-fuel-generated electricity. The card also explains the term’s connection to “gaslighting” and credits Lawrence Nault, author of the Symbiosis Sequence, with coining it.
