Kyrsten Sinema, the Co-Chair of the AI Infrastructure Coalition, appeared on Fox Business’ Mornings with Maria and Fox News Radio’s The Brian Kilmeade Show last week.

During Thursday’s appearance on Fox Business, Former Senator Sinema touted how “AI is going to improve daily lives.”

“President Trump’s leadership on AI dominance for America has been tremendous…we have got to beat China, we do not want Chinese AI controlling the globe. We want American AI to be dominant, in our country and around the world,” the former senator said. 

Sinema went on to add, “The good news is that the data shows that energy costs are largely not being affected by data centers.”

During Friday’s appearance with Brian Kilmeade, AIIC Co-Chair Sinema touted the benefits of AI and pushed back against common criticism. 

Sinema noted: “I got to tell you, Brian, I have growing concern over the NIMBYism of folks who want to end the construction of data centers, and I think it’s because Americans have trouble understanding the link between a data center and their own life… You know, Brian, I remind people that when they say, ‘Oh, I keep my stuff in the cloud’…Well, the data center is the cloud. That’s what a data center is. It’s the repository that holds all of the information that is important in your life, and it’s a tool that transmits your information back and forth on your phone, your laptop, your car, any kind of technology that you’re using.”

The former senator pointed out to Brian and his listeners that the “new data centers actually use less water than a traditional office building.”
