The article cites potential water use of up to 25% of Sydney’s drinking water by 2035 and notes data-centre energy demands could triple by 2030 nationwide. A new 2027 legal requirement will force large-scale data centres to underwrite power supplies, limit water use, and fund extra water infrastructure, while some community groups want a pause on further development.

If adopted, the UK would add legal mechanisms to quickly stop allegedly dangerous AI activity and bolster cyber resilience in response to AI-driven threats.
