Noah Perry is running for Kansas House District 66, representing a portion of Manhattan.
In this portion of the conversation, Noah Perry discusses data centers, artificial intelligence, and how Kansas should approach both. He expresses concern about offering tax incentives too freely to businesses and says that if incentives are given, there should be safeguards to ensure companies follow through on their commitments.
He also talks about AI as something that is rapidly expanding beyond the control of state governments, saying it is likely unavoidable and influenced by global competition. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on how to manage its impacts, including environmental concerns and community input when large projects are introduced. He also connects the issue back to education, stressing the importance of preparing students for a future shaped by technology.
