AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

AI, Jobs, and Data Centers: A new wave of tech layoffs is being tied directly to AI-driven restructuring, while Texas is moving to slow data center construction by requiring developers to disclose power, water, noise, and other impacts before grid connections. Public Health Policy: Infectious-disease experts are pushing back on a new U.S. gain-of-function research policy, warning it could weaken preparedness even as officials frame it as stronger biosecurity. South Carolina Tech & Infrastructure: SCRA is central to a $160M NSF-backed effort to modernize the power grid across SC and NC to handle surging EV and AI demand. Campus Safety: South Carolina State University is rolling out enhanced move-in security with electronic ID verification and tighter gate access. Local Tech Risks: Richland County reports major copper thefts tied to telecom lines, with AI data-center demand cited as part of the broader national pressure on copper prices. Health Coverage: Obamacare marketplace enrollment is down sharply after enhanced ACA subsidies expired, with South Carolina among the hardest hit states. Education Funding: Dorchester County voters will see a 1% education sales tax referendum on the November ballot.
