• As feds move to regulate AI, Minnesota already has laws in effect (twincities.com) — Minnesota is already enforcing rules on hyperscale data centers and AI, and Apple Valley's state senator Erin Maye Quade is helping shape those protections. She backs new federal efforts but warns they overlook heat, water, and pollution impacts that could affect local residents' bills, health, and environment as more facilities like Meta's Rosemount data center come online.
