Drenaje de datos: los impactos en el suelo y el agua del auge de la IA
Por Jon Gorey
October 2025, Spanish
Comunidades en los Estados Unidos están cortejando centros de datos usando reducciones de impuestos y otros incentivos. Pero estos monstruos mecánicos son consumidores voraces de recursos, y cada vez requieren más suelo, agua y electricidad. Al crecer la demanda de estos centros de datos, surgen decisiones difíciles acerca de dónde ponerlos y cómo repartir los recursos entre ellos y las comunidades vecinas.
