Our Executive Director Christian Dawson appeared on Breakfast Media LLC's Broadband and Breakfast to discuss how the #AI boom is driving greater demand for data center resources—while also challenging green #cloud initiatives. While it's easy to think of this as a hyperscaler challenge, Dawson pointed out that "[i]f everybody forgets about the needs of not just multi-tenant data centers but the important operations that are continuing to grow and be a vital part of the open internet, that is a problem." You can listen to the whole conversation here.?

Thanks for the conversation, Jesse Friedman! It's so important that as many hosters as possible know about the Secure Hosting Alliance (SHA).

We have signed onto a letter by SIIA emphasizing the critical role of the (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) in maintaining U.S. leadership in the rapidly-evolving #artificialintelligence industry. SIIA has now sent this letter to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. You can read the full text of the letter in our latest post.
