Amazon and others are done keeping data center deals secret. Is it enough to build trust?

Amazon says it will stop using NDAs when negotiating data center deals with local governments, following a similar move from Microsoft earlier this year. Secrecy has fueled community backlash against AI infrastructure, with opposition leading to hundreds of proposed and enacted moratoriums from New York to San Francisco.

亚马逊表示，继微软今年早些时候采取类似举措后，该公司在与地方政府谈判数据中心协议时将不再使用保密协议（NDA）。保密性加剧了社区对人工智能基础设施的抵制，这种反对情绪已导致从纽约到旧金山出现了数百项拟议和已颁布的暂停令。

Meanwhile, a wave of startups is betting that consumers will hand AI agents access to their inboxes, files, and credit cards — if they can get websites to let them in. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Anthony Ha, Sean O’Kane, and Rebecca Bellan dig into whether ditching NDAs will change how data center deals get done, why trust may be the real product for personal AI startups, plus a couple of deals of the week.

与此同时，一批初创公司押注消费者会将收件箱、文件和信用卡的访问权限交给人工智能代理——前提是它们能让网站允许其进入。在这一期 TechCrunch 的《Equity》播客中，Anthony Ha、Sean O’Kane 和 Rebecca Bellan 深入探讨了放弃保密协议是否会改变数据中心协议的达成方式，为什么信任可能是个人人工智能初创公司真正的产品，以及本周的几笔交易。
