| What’s all the fuss about Data Centers?
It seems the buzz words for the summer is data centers. You may have attended a listening session about them hosted by the City of Bloomington, or a Town of Normal or City of Bloomington Council meeting where moratoriums were enacted. Why the fuss? Who would data centers impact? How?
Join League members and guests for a lively discussion at Drinks and Dialogue on Wednesday, July 8.
Abby Scott and Michael Brown will speak on the topic and help enlighten us. Abby is a Bloomington City Council member representing Ward 9 and a Data Scientist/Model Architect with State Farm. She will have material for discussion around how Generative AI works and the difference between different AI models. Michael is the Executive Director of the Ecology Action Center. He will help us understand the implications of data centers to the environment, economy, and more.
We will convene at Gill Street Bar and Grill with social time from 5:30-6 p.m. and our discussion from 6-7. There is no cost to attend. Attendees are responsible for any food or beverages ordered from the restaurant’s menu.
For additional information, here's a video from the LWVIL about data centers.
