Aspen Digital webinar reimagines data centers as public compute for communities
lfschiavo · x · 2026-09-10
Aspen Digital is hosting a virtual webinar, 'Data Centers & the Future of Community Compute' (Sep 10, noon–2pm ET), exploring alternatives to the backlash against data centers in the US. Sessions cover DIY and community compute networks (HR&A Advisors, Weizenbaum Institute, Love Computing), environmental resilience and regeneration (Sasha Luccioni of the Sustainable AI Group, Stanford CodeX's Tony Lai), and shared benefits and local control, with panelists from civic infrastructure and rural utilities. The framing: what could compute infrastructure look like if approached as public AI, centered on public access, accountability, and sustainability.
