Wisconsin Gubernatorial Candidate Francesca Hong Proposes AI Regulations and Data Center Moratorium

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong is outlining her emerging technology platform, which includes proposals for regulating artificial intelligence in the workplace. Her plan suggests prohibiting AI from being used to surveil workers while off duty and eliminating tax breaks for companies that utilize AI to justify layoffs. In addition to her AI-focused initiatives, Hong has called for a moratorium on the construction of new data centers within Wisconsin. This proposed moratorium is driven by concerns over the potential environmental and energy impacts associated with data center development.
