According to RTE and YLE, thousands of demonstrators protested against AI data centres across Europe on Saturday (Nov. 8). RTE reported that around 2,000 people marched in Dublin, Ireland’s capital, while YLE reported around 1,300 participants at a rally in Helsinki. Smaller Finnish cities also held protests. A coalition of local democracy and climate groups, Stop Dirty Data Centres, said it wanted to curb the unchecked expansion of AI data centres and prevent democratic systems from being held hostage by the interests of big tech companies.
