A data center is a building designed to safely run computers, servers, storage systems, cooling equipment, power systems, and network connections.
AI is software that can recognize patterns, generate text or images, summarize information, answer questions, and help people work faster when used responsibly.
Data centers need electricians, network engineers, security staff, HVAC technicians, project managers, software developers, and operations teams.
Schools should not treat AI as something that can simply be banned. Students need to understand how AI works, when it is appropriate, when it is not appropriate, and how to disclose its use.
Good AI policy should protect student privacy, support teachers, encourage critical thinking, and avoid relying only on AI detection tools for discipline.
