Amazon says it will\u00a0stop using NDAs<\/a>\u00a0when negotiating data center deals with local governments, following\u00a0a\u00a0similar move from Microsoft<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year. Secrecy has fueled community backlash against AI infrastructure, with opposition leading to\u00a0hundreds of\u00a0proposed and enacted moratoriums from New York to San Francisco. Meanwhile, a wave of startups is betting that consumers will hand AI agents access to their inboxes, files, and credit cards \u2014\u00a0if they can get websites to let them in<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n On this episode of TechCrunch\u2019s\u00a0Equity<\/a>\u00a0podcast, Anthony Ha, Sean O\u2019Kane, 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n Subscribe to Equity on\u00a0YouTube<\/a>,\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Overcast<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>\u00a0and all the casts.
