随着人工智能飞速发展可能带来生存威胁的警钟愈发响亮，远离硅谷关于人工智能革命未来的辩论的人们，对这些实体所依赖的大型数据中心的建设，表达了其他更为直接切实的担忧。
As the alarm bells sound ever louder about the potentially existential threat of breakneck AI development, people far removed from Silicon Valley debates about the future of the artificial intelligence revolution are voicing other more immediately tangible worries about the building of the vast datacentres that power these entities.
在本周的 故事中，经济与政治作家爱德华多·波特分析了为何社区正在抵制人工智能以及大型科技富豪们想要创造的未来。他认为，这些基于对资源使用和快速社会变革的环境担忧的恐惧，远比卢德主义态度或邻避主义更为复杂。
For this week’s cover story, economics and political writer Eduardo Porter, analyses why communities are pushing back against AI and the future that the big tech plutocrats want to create. These fears, based around environmental concerns over resource use and rapid societal change, are, he argues, far more complex than luddite attitudes or nimbyism.
来自印度和英国两个农村社区的报道体现了这一立场，那里的大型数据中心已经在建设或规划中。正如汉娜·埃利斯-彼得森和阿卡什·哈桑所发现的，安得拉邦塔尔卢瓦达的村民感到，政府关于超大规模谷歌数据中心将带来“黄金时代”的承诺已经破灭。与此同时，桑德拉·拉维尔在德文郡大托灵顿会见了抗议者，他们感觉对于在联合国教科文组织指定的自然保护区内建设欧洲最大的人工智能园区之一的计划，自己一直被蒙在鼓里。
It’s a position exemplified by reporting from two rural communities in India and the UK where vast datacentres are already under construction or being planned. As Hannah Ellis-Petersen and Aakash Hassan find out, the villagers of Tarluvada, in Andhra Pradesh, feel that government promises of a “golden age” that a hyperscale Google datacentre would bring them have been broken. Meanwhile, Sandra Laville meets protesters in Great Torrington, Devon, who sense that they are being kept in the dark about plans for an AI campus, one of Europe’s largest, in a Unesco-designated nature reserve.
参加了大托灵顿会议的美国活动家伊丽莎白·汉弗莱斯告诉村民：“这是一个全球性问题；我们所有人都息息相关。”这感觉像是一个《卫报周刊》可以汇集我们来自世界各地记者的新闻报道来强调的主题，一个连接并影响我们所有人的主题。将《卫报周刊》送到您府上 五
The US campaigner Elizabeth Humphreys, who joined a meeting in Great Torrington, told villagers: “This is a global issue; we are all connected.”And it felt like an issue where Guardian Weekly could bring together our journalism from correspondents across the world to highlight a subject that connects and affects us all.
