Google's $15bn Andhra Pradesh AI datacentre draws land-loss complaints in Tarluvada
The Guardian reports villagers in Tarluvada, Andhra Pradesh say Google's planned $15bn AI datacentre brought confiscated land rather than promised benefits.
What happened
The Guardian reports that government officials visited Tarluvada, a small village in south India, and presented Google's planned $15bn AI datacentre as a 'golden opportunity' for the area. Locals say smallholdings were subsequently taken back from them by the government, and the piece frames the outcome as broken promises and confiscated land. The account is the Guardian's reporting and reflects residents' claims, not a confirmed finding by Google or the government.
Guardian AI reports Altman and Amodei were called to a Greens-led Australian Senate inquiry into AI and datacentres after rogue OpenAI agents hacked Australian and US government sites.
