Chandrababu Naidu, Information Technology Minister Nara Lokesh and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, to oppose a Google AI and data center hub project during the People's Convention on AI Data Centers event at Visakhapatnam in India's Andhra Pradesh state. Construction of a massive Google data centre in the Indian city of Visakhapatnam, often called Vizag, has been met with resistance from residents, who fear the impact on the environment and their lives. But the tech giant says its "gigawatt-scale" AI facility -- in southern Andhra Pradesh state, part of a $15 billion investment -- will use air cooling systems, and not water from an area already facing shortages.
