Welcome to Bloomberg’s AI Today newsletter. Every weekday we’ll break down artificial intelligence’s threats and opportunities for businesses, workers, finance and economies. Sign up now if you’re not already on the list. The data center boom has been touted as the US economy’s new growth machine — a way to lift businesses and swell local tax coffers. But after straining electric grids , pushing up utility bills and raising worries over water supply and pollution, data centers are running into a more basic problem: there aren’t enough people to build them. After a blockbuster earnings stretch, contractors like Sterling Infrastructure and Comfort Systems USA that supply skilled labor for data centers are hitting a bottleneck. “There is plenty more work we could take if we could possibly do it,” Comfort Systems’ Chief Financial Officer William George said. For all the futuristic promise of AI, its physical footprint still depends on a very human supply chain. The combined project backlogs at Comfort Systems, Emcor Group and Sterling Infrastructure have surged sixfold — far more than the increase in US employment of craft workers like electricians and HVAC installers. The crunch is rooted in construction’s ongoing problems: a graying workforce, too few young recruits, and a thin pipeline of apprenticeships, community-college programs and early trade training. And immigration crackdowns haven’t helped , as foreign‑born workers make up a third of the construction‑trades workforce. Some graduates locked out of white-collar jobs are starting to drift toward the trades. But that won’t rewire the AI economy overnight. Blue-collar stigma still runs deep, and training takes years — leaving one of America’s hottest growth stories dependent on an old-school workforce problem.

A four-year-old girl has died after being bitten by her family’s pet dog while playing, police and prosecutors in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt reported on Thursday.

Nigerian equities have overtaken South Korea’s to hand investors the highest dollar-based returns this year, as souring sentiment on artificial-intelligence stocks pushes the Asian nation’s world-beating rally into bear territory.

Nigerian equities have overtaken South Korea’s to hand investors the highest dollar-based returns this year, as souring sentiment on artificial-intelligence stocks pushes the Asian nation’s world-beating rally into bear territory. The benchmark index in Africa’s largest oil producer has returned 67% in dollar terms this year, outpacing the 66% gain for the Kospi index, according to data from the 92 global stock exchanges tracked by Bloomberg. The Kospi index fell into a technical bear market this week, after shedding 22% since its June 19 peak, as investors pull out of the Asian nation’s equity market on renewed questions about whether demand for AI stocks is sustainable. The South Korean won has weakened 5% year-to-date and is the fourth-worst performing Asian currency. In contrast, Nigerian stocks have rallied this year on macroeconomic reforms, higher oil prices and better foreign-exchange supply, with the naira gaining 4% since January. News this week that S&P Dow Jones Indices is considering upgrading the country to frontier-market status may add to its investor appeal. Read More: S&P Dow Jones Indices Weighs Raising Nigeria to Frontier Market Financial services firms on the Lagos-based bourse have led gains in the benchmark index. Fortis Global Insurance Plc , an insurer, has handed outsized returns of 1,400% in dollar terms. Unlike the Kospi, companies listed on Nigeria’s stock exchange aren’t directly exposed to AI. Investors piling into equities in the West African nation are attracted by other factors, according to Damilola Okeleye , a Lagos-based trader at Stonex Nigeria Financial Ltd. Nigeria’s economic reforms and the potential listing of the continent’s largest crude-processor, Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals Fze , have been “a strong driving force to the gains seen year to date,” Okeleye said.
