Data center secrecy fight and the push for personal AI agent access
What happened
TechCrunch reported that Microsoft moved earlier this year to stop using NDAs in data center deal talks. On October 10 it reported that Amazon also says it will stop using NDAs when negotiating data center deals with local governments. The secrecy around AI infrastructure projects has drawn community opposition, with hundreds of proposed or enacted construction moratoriums from New York to San Francisco. The same report also looked at personal AI agents: agent startups are betting consumers will give them access to their email, files and credit cards.
