Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman Calls for Community-Friendly AI Infrastructure Buildout, Urging Industry to Become “Good Neighbors” - Tekedia

Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman said AI data centers should be built as community-friendly infrastructure, not burden local residents or taxpayers.

He argued the industry should create local jobs, cut water use with approaches like closed-loop cooling, and pay its own costs.

Feldman pointed to Microsoft’s community-first AI infrastructure approach as a model for winning public support.

He also said many AI-related layoffs are being misattributed to AI, when over-hiring and productivity gains are bigger factors.
