The artificial intelligence company xAI is facing legal action due to air pollution at its data center

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI is facing legal action for its use of gas turbines at the "Colossus" data center in Memphis. The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) sent a 60-day notice of intent to sue xAI on behalf of the NAACP, accusing it of violating the Clean Air Act.

SELC pointed out that xAI has installed and operated at least 35 gas turbines over the past year without obtaining the necessary pre-construction or operating air permits. These devices could emit more than 2,000 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) annually, severely impacting local air quality.
