Americans for Financial Reform

Fund the fight to hold Big Tech accountable for AI’s hidden costs >>

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented surge in data center construction, energy demand, and financial investment. What is being framed as innovation is also creating serious risks for our infrastructure, our economy, our environment, and our communities.


Data centers powering AI systems are consuming massive amounts of electricity and placing growing strain on power grids across the country. This demand is accelerating faster than infrastructure can keep up, leading to higher costs, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and long-term impacts on communities. 


Americans for Financial Reform is exposing these risks and pushing for policies that rein in reckless expansion. We are conducting research, releasing new data, engaging lawmakers, and building public pressure to ensure that the growth of AI does not come at the expense of working people, the environment, and communities.


This is a fight happening everywhere, in Congress, in statehouses, and in the public conversation. And we are up against powerful tech companies and investors who are moving quickly to shape the rules in their favor.


Your support helps fuel this work, from research and reporting to advocacy and organizing.


Contribute to Americans for Financial Reform and fund the fight to hold Big Tech accountable for the true cost of AI expansion.
