Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order on Tuesday local time, putting forward new regulatory requirements for the construction of artificial intelligence data centers in the state, which will limit the expansion of the AI industry. According to the new regulations, relevant companies must meet environmental protection and information transparency requirements, and also obtain approval from the local community for the project. For example, companies will bear the full cost of electricity generated by their data center facilities and require a significant percentage of their electricity to come from clean energy.
