It's hard to talk about the explosion of #ArtificalIntelligence without talking about #DataCenters or the world's data center capital... #Virginia. This summer, Policy & Communications Fellow Sean Wang Zi-Ming sat down with Julie Bolthouse, Director of Land Use at the Piedmont Environmental Council.
