Construction for data centers could be halted nationwide until restrictions on artificial intelligence are enacted under new legislation introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Wednesday.

“A moratorium is hereby imposed on the construction or upgrading of all new AI data center projects until Congress passes comprehensive AI legislation that ensures the safety and prosperity of the American people,” the legislative text reads. “This moratorium shall not be lifted until legislation is passed and such legislation expressly terminates the moratorium.”
