Shreveport City Council Disrupted Over Secretive AI Data Center
Shreveport, LA – On December 18, community members packed a Shreveport city council meeting Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. to oppose a proposed artificial intelligence data center being introduced through a special use permit. The meeting became a flashpoint for public anger over secrecy, environmental harm and corporate control of local government.
City council members met to discuss and vote on the proposal despite having signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that conceal critical details of the project from the public.
