## Summary

Cerebras Systems CEO and co-founder Andrew Feldman said at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 that discussion of AI’s extreme risks is overshadowing the technology’s potential benefits. The executive argued that industry leaders should talk more about advances such as treatments that could mean their grandchildren “never meet anybody who dies of cancer,” while still acknowledging risks and the need for reasonable regulation.

Feldman also said the data center industry has not worked adequately with local communities, particularly in the U.S., during the expansion driven by AI. He named Brazil, Canada, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Mexico and Sweden as markets that are encouraging data center construction. The CEO further said improvements in hardware and model efficiency should work together, rather than necessarily reducing demand for Cerebras chips.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

Feldman’s comments connect the debate over AI risks to two practical questions: how to regulate the technology without overshadowing its potential benefits, and how data-center expansion may affect local communities. His point about efficiency also suggests that technical improvements can coexist with continued infrastructure demand, according to the executive.
