The bill would remove tax breaks that allow AI data centers to depreciate equipment faster than other businesses, potentially increasing their tax bills. It would also require data center operators to report detailed information about how much electricity and water their facilities use, giving regulators and the public better visibility into the resource demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
