Data Centers: Hyperscale or Hyperbole?

Whether you use AI, high-performance computing, streaming media, or cloud services, you have a stake in the outcome of one of today’s biggest issues: data centers. The debate over the scale and regulation of data centers affects politics, government, and the state of computing. You may have “skin in the game,” be committed to a side, or be indifferent, but it is still important to understand the different perspectives that may shape future decisions. Join Chicago ACM and IEEE Chicago on October 22 at 5:30 PM at The Metropolitan Club for a moderated discussion featuring Bryan McDaniel and Brad Tietz, who bring different perspectives to this timely issue.
