Garman warned that moratoriums on data centers could cost the U.S. the AI race, stressing urgency because other countries also see AI's economic and national security benefits.
“If these measures are enacted, the U.S. could be writing its own losing ticket to this race, and the consequences would last generations,” he wrote. “As a country, we can’t afford to find ourselves in that position. There is urgency to this data center build out because we aren’t the only country that sees the benefits of AI for the economy and national security.”
