Sam Altman says AI developers have fumbled at communicating the technology’s benefits

Sam Altman said weak communication of AI benefits left developers exposed to backlash, with local opposition halting or delaying 75 U.S. data-centre projects valued at about $130 billion in Q1. In Europe, grid capacity limits progress; Denmark’s Energinet paused connections while 60 GW of projects await a 7 GW peak-demand system, and new rules force centres over 500 kW to report energy and sustainability data.
