Data Centers and AI: Separating Hype from Reality with Domenico Ferraro
In this episode of the Powering America Podcast, host Brian Hyde speaks with Domenico Ferraro, a professor at Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business and author of three reports for the Goldwater Institute. Ferraro discusses the economic implications of artificial intelligence and data centers, challenging doomsday predictions while acknowledging the valid concerns about cost and disruption.
He also outlines the immense value AI brings to both the labor market and home production, comparing its transformative potential to past technological revolutions.
