The regulatory wave against AI expansionism is gaining momentum. One prominent state leader is taking an increasingly cautious approach to artificial intelligence development and data center infrastructure expansion. Recent policy moves include mandatory consumer disclosure requirements when AI is deployed, stricter limitations on AI-driven mental health services, and resistance to large-scale data center projects. These positions reflect growing concerns about AI's rapid deployment without adequate safeguards. The broader regulatory trend raises questions about how governments will balance technological innovation with consumer protection—a debate that extends beyond AI into crypto and blockchain sectors, where similar tensions between innovation and oversight continue to shape policy conversations.

Regulation is coming, but we all know this routine. Today banning AI, tomorrow banning crypto. Anyway, it's just fear of innovation moving too fast.

You're meddling with AI again, but you'd be better off focusing more on the crypto world.

Here we go again, regulators are extending their hands to AI. Basically, it's the old game of innovation versus protection. The blockchain community has played this trick before... Data centers are not allowed to be built, and mental health AI is also being regulated. Isn't this just a covert way of increasing interaction costs? In the end, it's still the users who pay the price.

The regulatory iron fist is coming, but can it really control this monster called AI?

Here comes regulation again, is it AI's turn this time? Speaking of data centers, they definitely need to be monitored carefully, or else there will be endless problems. Regulation and innovation are always at odds, our crypto circle is used to it long ago haha. In the end, a balance has to be found for this thing. It seems the AI bubble can be blown even more than the crypto circle, so some regulation is normal. I support the restrictions on mental health services; really, they can't be messed with. Each radish in its own pit, and looking at this pace, policies are going to cause another round of turmoil.

Regulation is coming, and this wave of AI will cool down, with data centers also being affected. Honestly, this is similar to cryptocurrency—innovation and regulation are always at odds.
