Texas Governor Greg Abbott has shifted his stance on artificial intelligence infrastructure, calling for major new regulations on data centers despite previously praising his state as a hub for AI development. This policy change comes as Abbott campaigns for re-election. The shift reflects a broader national trend where politicians from both major parties are responding to community backlash against these facilities. Ahead of the upcoming November elections, several Republican politicians are distancing themselves from Donald Trump’s supportive stance on artificial intelligence, aligning more closely with local concerns that have also driven Democratic opposition to data center expansion.
