AI data centers are booming. Indigenous People want help protecting their lands and knowledge

Indigenous leaders globally are raising concerns at the UN regarding the rapid expansion of AI data centers, which they claim threaten their lands, water, and rights due to vast resource consumption. In the US, the Tulsa City Council enacted a moratorium on a Meta data center project, and several tribal nations have also passed moratoriums amid local opposition and concerns over electricity and water use. Indigenous advocates are pushing for free, prior, and informed consent for such developments and exploring responsible AI infrastructure.
