Google rolls out Private AI Compute matching Apple’s AI privacy scheme

One of the barriers to people embracing AI in their daily lives is trust — making sure that the company that built the AI isn’t going to just spill your most sensitive info to advertisers and data brokers.

Google is announcing a new feature called Private AI Compute that takes a page from Apple to help assure users that Google will keep your AI data private.

In June 2024, Apple announced its Private Cloud Compute scheme, which ensures only the user can access data sent to the cloud to enable AI features.

While Apple’s AI tools have yet to fully materialize, Google’s new offering looks a lot like Apple’s. AI models on its phones process data in a secure environment, and when more computing is needed in the cloud, that security is extended to the cloud to be processed by Google’s custom TPU chips.

A press release said: “This ensures sensitive data processed by Private AI Compute remains accessible only to you and no one else, not even Google.”

Amazon says it’s doubling down on opening Whole Foods stores. That sounds familiar.

The company says it’ll open 100 Whole Foods locations in the next few years. That sounds similar to plans Whole Foods’ CEO laid out for opening 30 stores a year in 2024. Since then, it appears to have added 14, total.

Georgia lawmakers introduce data center construction moratorium amid statewide pushback

More and more communities across the US are wrestling with the pros and cons of having a data center come to town. Georgia has become a hotspot of resistance to the data centers planned by Big Tech, according to a new report from The Guardian. The Atlanta metro area led the nation in data center construction in 2024.

Georgia state representatives introduced legislation that would place a one-year moratorium on data center construction in the state. Ten Georgia municipalities have already passed local bans on data centers.

Per the report, at least three other states have seen similar data center moratorium legislation introduced in the last week, including Maryland and Oklahoma.

Corning soars after striking deal to sell up to $6 billion in optical infrastructure to Meta

Glass company Corning is soaring in early trading after announcing a $6 billion deal with Meta to provide its data centers with fiber-optic cable products. Thanks to a string of big tech deals — including partnerships with Broadcom and Apple — Corning’s stock is up about 100% over the past year.

A 175-year-old glass manufacturer, Corning is known for its Gorilla Glass, used in smartphone and laptop screens. It was known in the past for its iconic blue cornflower CorningWare ceramics, a consumer cookware business it spun off in the 1990s.

In an interview, Corning CEO Wendell Weeks told CNBC that he thinks “next year the hyperscalers will be our biggest customers,” amid demand from tech giants including Google and Microsoft.
