This Public News Service wire report surveys North Carolina's growing anti-data-center movement, noting that more than two dozen NC communities have already restricted large-scale data center construction over energy and water concerns. Rania Masri (NC Environmental Justice Network) and Leslie St Dre (Community Land and Power) frame their opposition as extending beyond siting fights to AI itself, citing a Goldman Sachs estimate that AI could displace nearly 300 million full-time jobs, concerns about AI-driven wage discrimination and surveillance, and a case in which AI facial recognition led to a wrongful arrest of a North Carolina man in Florida.
