AI infrastructure boom hit by "global containment": construction restrictions cross the Atlantic, Microsoft (MSFT.US) Amsterdam project becomes the eye of the storm

The "construction restriction wave" against AI data centers triggered by the U.S. midterm elections is spreading across the Atlantic to Europe. According to Zhitong Finance APP, on Friday local time, a group of protesters broke into a Microsoft (MSFT.US) data center construction site in Amsterdam, kicking off a two-day rally. This is part of a growing global wave of resistance to the rapid expansion of computing power required for AI.
