The seven major tech companies sign a White House pledge, with AI data center electricity costs to be borne by the companies themselves.
The seven major tech companies (Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, Oracle, and xAI) signed a non-binding "User Protection Commitment" at the White House, promising to bear the energy costs of AI data centers themselves, without passing the costs on to consumers, and prioritizing local hiring. However, the commitment lacks legal protections, and the enforcement mechanism is not yet clear, raising concerns about its actual effectiveness.
