KAMLOOPS — A group of young Kamloopsians will be gathering at Summit Drive and McGill Road this Friday (June 5) afternoon to speak out against the infiltration of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI data centres into the city.
They’ll be protesting the construction of the new AI data centre on the campus of Thompson Rivers University. While these students say concerns include the environmental impacts posed by data centres in general, they’re also speaking out against generative AI in particular, saying it hampers critical thinking among students.
“Generative AI has grown so much and there are so many new ones that have come in and there are more students who have been using generative AI, especially from my experience,” co-organizer Kaitlyn Monteiro told CFJC Today.
