Sign our petition to tell town officials that we don't want AI data centers in Bow - not now, not ever! We're concerned about these massive AI data centers, because they're on a large scale that has been destroying communities. Here are some of the concerns about AI: Algorithmic bias: AI systems have the potential to perpetuate harmful biases. Privacy and data protection: AI uses personal data to learn and causes concern for privacy laws and regulations. AI is increasingly being used for surveillance in systems that uphold white supremacy and cause harm. Ethical concerns: artists, writers, and others who create materials for entertainment, information, and other purposes put a lot of time into their work. AI hurts artists’ well-being and has implications for the future of creative work. Environmental concerns: generative AI has a massive impact on the environment. Data centers use a huge amount of electricity, water, and resources. Data centers are loud, polluting, and wreck havoc on communities. Social Implications: AI has a massive impact on society, employment, and equity. Workers Rights: Data centers currently rely on workers who are exploited and underpaid. Big tech companies are lying about working conditions, punishing workers for talking about these conditions, and using workarounds in contractor work to pay people less to keep systems running and tag media for AI learning. Sign this petition and share it with the next person - let's make sure we don't let data centers like this one move into our communities (or any!). https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-ai-data-center-in-bow-nh
