Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, advocates for "sovereign AI," where enterprises own and control their data, models, and infrastructure. He argues that current AI models require companies to reveal proprietary knowledge, essentially paying twice for intelligence. This knowledge, including prompts and feedback, should remain the enterprise's exclusive asset to prevent competitors from benefiting. Nadella's vision challenges the business models of companies like OpenAI, which offer AI as a managed service. He criticizes the prohibition of using third-party model outputs for private model training, noting the irony given how AI companies scraped online content.In parallel, over 200 economists and experts warn of significant AI-driven job displacement in the next decade, potentially more disruptive than the Industrial Revolution. They urge proactive measures to ensure AI complements human workers and benefits society broadly. Separately, Google DeepMind's CEO called for an international body to evaluate frontier AI models.Meanwhile, states are implementing regulations for data center water use due to growing demand, especially in water-scarce regions. These regulations include reporting requirements, restrictions on potable water use, and incentives for water-efficient cooling technologies. While data centers can require significant water for cooling, many systems recycle water. The article notes that although current data center water usage is relatively small compared to other industries, projected growth necessitates state-level action. Policymakers are seeking better data and standardized reporting. Electricity demands and grid strain from data centers are emerging as other significant concerns.
