This week’s midterm elections in the U.S. brought significant wins for the Democrats, potentially reshaping the technology sector.
Voters considered 41 ballot measures related to data centers on Tuesday. In nearly every case, a majority favored imposing stricter regulations on data center construction. Even in instances where data centers were not a direct focus of the ballots, the issue remained prominent, with newly elected Democratic leaders likely to advocate for more oversight.
In the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and Anthony Ha delve into the implications of the election for the tech sector, discussing not only the future of data centers—which OpenAI is actively trying to reposition—but also the anticipated increase in governmental scrutiny of major tech companies.
