As artificial intelligence accelerates its implementation, the construction of data centers across the United States has entered the fast lane. However, simultaneously, rising electricity prices are becoming the most direct pain point in the daily lives of American citizens. On the 13th local time, Microsoft, a leading US AI company, announced the launch of its "Community First" initiative, pledging not to pass on the electricity costs of its data centers to local residents. Experts point out that the "data center boom" is a major driver of rising electricity prices in the US. It is expected that US electricity prices may continue to rise in 2026. Recently, Trump has also urged technology companies to bear the electricity costs associated with artificial intelligence.
