Bauschard Featured on NewsNation for AI Expertise

AI Education Policy Consultant and UMW Adjunct Professor Stefan Bauschard recently appeared as a featured guest on NewsNation to address the accelerating footprint of data centers across the United States and the complex challenges they present to local communities.

The segment, titled “Developing Story: Will America Embrace New Data Tech,” examined the rapid growth of data centers and their impact on local communities. During the interview, Bauschard addressed the challenges of balancing technological infrastructure needs with community concerns, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful planning, environmental oversight, corporate accountability and public engagement as AI-driven development continues across the country. Bauschard concluded by noting that because the country is only at the absolute beginning of the AI revolution, open, empathetic, and serious public debates regarding how this technology impacts people’s homes, lives, and local economies are urgently needed.
