Mital Gandhi, 47, is a resident of Ashburn, Virginia, whose community has been overtaken by data centers. Stephen Voss for BI Mital Gandhi remembers watching the 2024 NBA Finals on TV at his home in Ashburn, Virginia, when he realized something wasn't right. Instead of hearing the ball bouncing or the intermittent squeaks from shoes on the hardwood, his ears could only focus on a constant hum. That hum, he said, came from one of the four data centers less than 2,000 feet away from his property. "You can see them from my front porch. You can hear them sometimes from my pool," Gandhi, 47, told Business Insider. "It's not appealing to me to hear them or to be surrounded by them." To say Gandhi's development, The Regency, is surrounded by data centers would be an understatement. The 143-home neighborhood in Loudoun County, Virginia, is in the area's famed "Data Center Alley," which hosts about 200 data centers — the highest concentration in the world. Data centers themselves aren't the only things disturbing Regency residents — there's also constant construction to build more of them. Stephen Voss for BI Living in a community where your neighbors also include massive servers powering the artificial intelligence boom wasn't part of the plan when Gandhi moved from Washington, DC, to the suburbs with his wife and son in 2013 after growing tired of pushing a stroller in one of the busiest downtown neighborhoods. As artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm, the country is racing to build infrastructure to keep up — and in places like Northern Virginia, some residents say it's dramatically encroaching on their lives. The change in communities like Gandhi's — not to mention data centers' impact on the power grids, water supply, and public health — is a stark reminder of how technology is changing our lives in real time. It's also a deeply unpopular change: A new Gallup survey found that 71% of Americans don't want a data center built where they live, while 53% of respondents said they would oppose the construction of a nearby nuclear power plant. After years of constant noise and disappearing greenery, Gandhi had an idea: If the data center invasion is inevitable, why not find a way to capitalize on it? As the former Regency HOA president and a real estate developer, Gandhi came up with a unique proposal: Get the entire community to agree to sell their properties to a data center developer for $4.4 million per acre — about four times the price of an average property in the development — in a deal worth over $500 million. If they couldn't beat the data centers, perhaps The Regency could join them. Ashburn, Virginia, is known as the data center capital of the world. Stephen Voss for BI Convincing 143 families to unanimously agree to sell their homes to a data center company has been an uphill battle since Gandhi first pitched the deal in 2024. Regardless of the outcome, Gandhi sees his efforts as heroic. "This is the best possible scenario for our lives at this point," he said. "To give 143 families an opportunity — potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — is probably one of the best things I've ever done in my life." 'Either you're going to love me, or you're not' Gandhi is no stranger to making big bets under pressure. Before he turned 30, Gandhi faced adversity that changed his philosophy on life: He had kidney failure. He recalled sitting in the dialysis chair, realizing how short his life could have been. "I could die without this dialysis machine," he said. "It gave me a real sense of purpose for living." It also gave him a business idea. "When I was in that dialysis chair, I told my nephrologist, I said, 'Hey doc, I'm going to make you a million dollars.'" One day, Gandhi said, he'd open a dialysis center to help save the lives of more patients like him. Mital Gandhi used his expertise in real estate to help pitch his community a deal to sell their development to data centers. Stephen Voss for BI A self-described "corporate guy," Gandhi had worked in fundraising as a major gifts officer for his alma mater, American University, and for Live Nation Entertainment as a national sales manager. He was ready to take the leap into real estate; he just needed more time — something his doctor granted him when he successfully underwent kidney transplant surgery in 2009 at age 30. "At the end of the day, one thing I learned from having a kidney transplant is that I don't like the bullshit," Gandhi said. "I'm very direct. Either you're going to love me, or you're not, and that's OK." Inspired by his father, who owned properties in his home state of New Jersey, Gandhi shifted his focus to real estate development, becoming managing partner of Merit Development, a firm based in New Jersey and Washington, in 2012. By the end of 2013, he'd bought a dialysis center with his doctor for $1.9 million in Millburn, New Jersey. "There are a lot of people who talk a big game, and there are very few who deliver it," Gandhi said. "When I tell you I'm going to do something, you have nothing else to worry about." A not-so-simple plan When Walt Purnell first heard about Gandhi's plan, he wasn't convinced. Purnell, a Regency resident since 1999 and former HOA president himself, lives across the street from Gandhi. "He calls me one day, he says, 'My wife thinks I'm crazy, but instead of putting up with all these complaints from all the neighbors incessantly, why don't we sell the whole development?'" Purnell, 80, told Business Insider. "And I said, 'Mital, I agree with your wife. You're crazy. We're never going to get 143 homeowners to agree to do that.' And he says, 'Well, that may well be, but I'd like to be able to put a deal on the table and let them decide.'" There are four data centers less than 2,000 feet from Gandhi's home in The Regency. Stephen Voss for BI Using his real-estate connections, Gandhi formulated a ballpark sale price based on other data center deals in the area. In the neighboring county of Prince William, for example, Microsoft purchased 124 acres of vacant land for $465.5 million — or about $3.75 million per acre. Gandhi figured he could get his neighbors a little more. "I made sure it was a justified number — it wasn't out of the air," he said. "It was more of a, 'Huh, we could potentially do it.' The biggest task here is to get 143 people on the same page." "Do I think it's the right thing for the community? Yes. To put all the pieces together as a dealmaker, that's exciting for me."Mital Gandhi Longtime Regency resident Rick Myers, 62, has lived in the neighborhood since 1998 and has seen it transform over the last two decades. Back in the '90s, when Ashburn was an up-and-coming city, the area around The Regency was wooded and undeveloped, with a small forest of trees standing no taller than a one-story building. "You really didn't see anything but greenery everywhere," Myers said. While there are still a few trees on the half-acre lot behind Myers' home keeping the data centers at bay, during the colder months, the bare trees reveal the windowless data centers looming behind them. Gandhi's neighbors say the data centers have added noise and construction to their community. Stephen Voss for BI "The trend now is to make them four, five, six stories tall, so that you're going to see them no matter how tall the trees are," Myers said. When Gandhi sent out a mass email to residents outlining the potential deal, Myers was immediately on board. There was not much for him and his wife, who are both retired, to consider. He estimates his home is worth $1.3 million, so the payout would be well worth it in his eyes; it would allow them to sell and move somewhere out of state. He thinks about 60% of his neighbors are in favor of selling. Purnell, too, was on board. He and his neighbors had grown annoyed over the years as more and more data centers broke ground. "The construction noise, the construction traffic, the running of their emergency generators in the middle of the night… Some of them didn't have proper baffling on their air conditioners, so there was this massive humming all the time," Purnell said. "Everybody was complaining." When Gandhi and Purnell polled their neighbors on the initial proposal, 138 out of 143 households said they'd accept the deal if the price was right. Once they saw a detailed offer sheet, however, Purnell said support began to waver. The biggest challenge Gandhi's deal faces is getting all 143 households to unanimously agree. Stephen Voss for BI "Everybody decided there's something they didn't like about it, and so we're sort of stalemated," he said. Gandhi said one of the biggest issues Regency residents have with the deal is the timeline. Because the deal would require zoning changes and the addition of electrical infrastructure, he estimates the transaction could take about seven years to complete. One Regency resident who works in finance and has lived in the neighborhood for a decade said that while the deal looks great if it means he could sell his house tomorrow for more than triple the value, the reality is a bit more complicated. "The value of a house generally — especially in our market — will appreciate, assuming you keep it maintained, by doing nothing," the resident told Business Insider. Longtime Regency resident Rick Myers remembers a time before the data centers, when "you really didn't see anything but greenery everywhere." Stephen Voss for BI "How much risk is someone willing to take," he added, "if the answer is you cannot monetize one of your largest assets for some period of time? Then the compensation to offset that risk needs to be appropriate, and the purchase price needs to be appropriate." The complexities of the deal have also left some parents wondering how it would fit into their family's plans. "There are people who have kids in the school system, where they want to extend the closing even further because they want little Johnny to graduate from high school or middle school or whatever it may be," Gandhi said. "The only term that everyone can agree to is money." A bittersweet solution Gandhi wouldn't be the first Northern Virginia resident to attempt to strike a deal with data center developers. In 2025, Chuck Kuhn, a businessman in Leesburg, Virginia, a town 15 minutes away from Ashburn, sold 97 parcels of land to a global data center investor for $615 million. According to the Washington Business Journal, the property is approved for five new data centers. In Prince William County, one county south of Loudoun, landowner Mary Ann Ghadban and her neighbors agreed to sell an assemblage of land to data center developer QTS in 2021 — although the deal is still mired in legal troubles. The potential buyer of The Regency is a data center developer who would lease the property to a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services or Google. The identities of both parties are being kept under wraps via NDAs, but the data center publication Data Center Dynamics reported that both are already major players in Loudoun County. That doesn't narrow it down much: About 6 miles up the road from The Regency, Amazon Data Services paid $427 ‌million for George Washington University's Virginia Science and Technology Campus. Aligned Data Centers is directly east of The Regency, Digital Realty is already the southern neighbor of The Regency, and DataBank and Sabey — both located on Red Rum Drive — are the data centers Gandhi can see from his front porch. Local officials are aware of Gandhi's bid and, in some cases, want to stop the construction of more data centers. Sylvia Glass, district supervisor of Broad Run, where The Regency is located, said in a statement that Loudoun County would prefer the land be used for "housing, commercial, and civic uses." "I am aware that The Regency has received outreach from data center developers and I have spoken several times with residents," Glass said. "However, I am not involved in any negotiations the community may be having and no rezoning application has been submitted to Loudoun County." Some local officials want to stop the development of more data centers in the area, but Regency residents like Gandhi believe their only option is to move out. Stephen Voss for BI While Gandhi and current Regency HOA President Kevin McCaughey said the deal is still on the table, other residents aren't optimistic. Ashburn resident Karen Nilsen Brown, a local real estate agent who lives about 3 miles from The Regency, hopes it doesn't go through for the community's sake. "We're losing beautiful trees and greenery," Brown, 54, told Business Insider. "The landscape that was once allowed in the county is now being replaced by, basically, these cement panels." Gandhi believes it's already too late. He never imagined he'd be surrounded by data centers when he moved to Ashburn, and neither did most of his neighbors. The best option now, he said, is to help them find greener, less concrete-filled pastures. "Do I think it's the right thing for the community? Do I think it's the right thing for the region? Yes," he said. "To put all the pieces together as a dealmaker, that's exciting for me." "I do believe AI is the future, and I do believe AI is going to take jobs," Gandhi added. "It's nice to be a part of the boom instead of being left behind." Still, the idea of ceding the neighborhood to data centers is bittersweet. Gandhi fell in love with his neighbors and with Ashburn when he moved from the city to the suburbs over a decade ago. He's been an active member of the community, becoming the HOA president and the PTO president at his sons' elementary school. He never thought he'd be willing to sell the home that his two sons can always come back to, and now he's leading the charge to flee. "We love Ashburn, it's a fantastic area," Gandhi said. "Unfortunately, we didn't know 13 years ago that it was going to be Data Center Alley." Read the original article on Business Insider

Cleveland Clinic initiated a pilot project in which 250 physicians evaluated five ambient listening products. Cleveland Clinic Ambient AI scribes can reduce busywork and improve doctor-patient interactions. Cleveland Clinic's AI pilot led to widespread use, with 4,000 clinicians adopting the technology. AI scribes help reduce physician workload, but require careful oversight to ensure accuracy. If you haven't encountered the technology at your most recent doctor's appointment, you've perhaps learned about it through a medical drama like "The Pitt": ambient AI scribes. These AI-powered systems record, transcribe, and summarize patient-physician conversations. A 2025 NPJ Digital Medicine paper found that about 30% of physician practices in the United States use AI scribes to document patient encounters. "For providers, it's great because you get an excellent draft with little effort," said Rohit Chandra, executive vice president and chief digital officer at the Cleveland Clinic. "For patients, it's good because you get a high-quality note after your visit, and you have a much better encounter because the provider isn't typing the whole time." At the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit healthcare system, some physicians are using ambient AI as part of a push to reduce administrative burden and improve patient experience. The technology is intended to support physicians, not replace them, by allowing clinicians to spend more time focused on support and care. An AI-pilot program led to eager adoption In 2024, the Cleveland Clinic initiated a pilot project in which 250 physicians were divided into smaller groups and asked to evaluate five ambient listening products on accuracy, user experience, and helpfulness. Dr. Eric Boose is a family physician and associate chief medical information officer at the Cleveland Clinic. He was the physician lead on the yearlong pilot project and, as part of the program, Boose tested the technology during appointments with his own patients. "Oftentimes, with technology, people aren't ready for change," Boose told Business Insider. "In this case, we actually had people who were not part of the pilot program asking if they could have it." At the end of the pilot, the Cleveland Clinic selected Ambience's AI platform based on its performance. After this selection, in the spring of 2025, the software was disseminated to the Cleveland Clinic's US-based clinicians, who were offered training sessions but told they were not required to use the AI tool. Within the first 15 weeks, 4,000 clinicians were actively using it. According to the Cleveland Clinic, by August 2025, providers will have used the AI scribe to document and summarize 1 million patient encounters. Physicians who use the tool use it for about 76% of their scheduled office visits. "I think that because we built enough understanding and enthusiasm during the pilot, we excelled at adoption," Chandra said. How the AI scribe works Ambience's AI scribe records the patient-physician conversation through a phone app. At the start, the physician enters their specialty into the app. Depending on the specialty, the AI will focus on specific aspects of the conversation when preparing its reports. For example, if the appointment concerns sleep medicine, the AI might focus on retrieving details such as an individual's bedtime habits. "It's a very flexible tool in that it can adapt to what your specialty is," Boose said. At the Cleveland Clinic, physicians review and approve the AI-generated content before it's entered into the electronic health record. Patients must also provide verbal consent before the software is used. Overall, Boose said that most patients have been open to its use and seem to appreciate that it allows more face-to-face time during the appointment, compared to having a doctor take notes while also being present. "I think I've had maybe two or three patients decline over the past two years I've been using it," he added. The AI software generates a comprehensive, structured report in Epic, along with a patient after-visit summary. These are reviewed by the physician, who can edit for clarity and accuracy. It also provides patient instructions based on the discussion during the appointment. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the Ambience AI scribe reduced the time spent reviewing and writing notes by two minutes per appointment and 14 minutes per day. Feedback from physicians suggests the AI scribe has brought some "joy back to caregiving," Chandra added. "They didn't become doctors to be drowning in paperwork." AI healthcare barriers and opportunities A clinic spokesperson told Business Insider that an estimated 5,000 providers across the healthcare system are using an AI scribe. Despite its benefits, AI scribes aren't perfect products yet, Boose said. He added that it's a showcase of artificial intelligence, not intelligence. This is why it's especially important for physicians to review the AI-generated work. Boosed said that patient concerns have primarily focused on what happens to the recordings. These are held for about 30 days, then de-identified and unretrievable. "We want people to feel comfortable that their data is not living somewhere in perpetuity," he said. If at any point during the appointment, a patient is uncomfortable, the physician can pause the AI recording. While some physicians were eager to use the product at the start, others at the Cleveland Clinic had doubts about its effectiveness, Boose said. They were also nervous about AI hallucinations and emissions — factors that Chandra told Business Insider everyone has to be "very careful about." Ultimately, at the Cleveland Clinic, as "physicians were using it more and more, they were kind of blown away," Boose said. Looking ahead, Cleveland Clinic is interested in evaluating additional AI use cases, such as AI agents that can query patient concerns before appointments and provide actionable post-appointment steps. "AI is going to make us more and more efficient, but it will never replace physicians," Boose said. "But it is a very exciting time for efficiency in healthcare — we haven't had this big of a game changer in a long time that can make things smoother for physicians and patients."

The author moved from New Zealand to Japan and learned how to foster even more independence with her daughter. AzmanL/Getty Images I enrolled my daughter in a Japanese public school, and it changed how I think about raising an independent child. In Japan, kids walk to school, serve lunch, and clean classrooms daily. I've learned independence is about contributing to the community. When we arrived in Japan in 2023, we bypassed the expensive international schools and enrolled our daughter directly into the local public system, essentially tossing her into the deep end of cultural immersion. It's been a joy to watch her flourish and find a sense of belonging in a second language, but the experience has completely challenged my idea of what it means to raise an independent child. Most kids walk to school in Japan Since the vast majority of elementary students in Japan walk to school, I had to trade my "safety-first" instincts for community trust. Even though we lived just five minutes from the school gates, my mind immediately raced toward worst-case scenarios like the fear of child abduction. What I didn't yet understand was that this routine was a great way to scaffold independence. Rather than shield children from risks, they are taught how to navigate them safely. Courtesy of the author Students here walk to and from school in groups along predetermined routes, supported by a network of PTA volunteers and neighbors. For added security, the school sends app alerts for everything from thunderstorms to "suspicious individuals" in the area, as well as the occasional monkey sighting. Every child also carries a high-decibel alarm attached to their school bag in case of an emergency. Last week, my daughter stopped on her way home to play at the nearby stream. Although I was present, I watched from a distance as three groups of adults stopped to check in on her. They didn't hover; they simply verified she was safe and moved on. It was clear that her safety was a shared responsibility. Lunch time is a lesson in social responsibility In most Japanese elementary schools, students don't just eat the meals; they help run them. Known as kyuushoku, the program turns the classroom into a mini-restaurant where the children are the staff. Students rotate through serving duties, eat together in the classroom, and handle the entire cleanup themselves with guidance from their teacher. The author's daughter's lunch at her Japanese school. Courtesy of the author Initially, my main takeaway from this routine was the pure relief of no longer having to pack a daily lunch box. But over time, I realized kyuushoku was another daily practice designed to foster autonomy. These lunchtime duties also provided my daughter with a vital social bridge. It was a shortcut to belonging that enabled her to transcend the language barrier and become an active member of her classroom. Her growing independence has carried into our home life, turning constant reminders into something she now does automatically. By learning to be an active participant in her classroom, she has instinctively brought that same accountability home. These lessons in responsibility don't end with lunch, either. Once the plates are cleared and their outdoor play time finishes, another daily routine begins, involving manual labor that would make most Western school boards recoil. My child is expected to clean her school every day Yes, the rumors are true. Japanese school children really do clean their own schools. From desks and windows to floors and even bathrooms, students from first to sixth grade participate in a daily 20-minute cleaning period called souji. There are no janitorial staff, and I realized just how seriously this is taken when my daughter's school stationery list included two cleaning cloths. It was the first time I had ever seen cleaning supplies listed alongside pencils and notebooks. I didn't expect my daughter to enjoy cleaning at school. She still resists tidying her room at home, but she embraced the school routine quickly and even went through a phase of loving the classroom vacuum. This daily practice teaches the children how to work within a group, an integral part of Japanese society. When children are responsible for their own spaces, they treat them with more care and are far more likely to take an active role in maintaining them. Living in Japan forced me to rethink what it means to raise an independent child I always thought independence meant "I can think for myself" and is largely internal. In Japan, it's more external, defined by the ability to manage oneself responsibly within the collective, even when no one is watching. Living here has forced me to recalibrate my understanding of raising independent children. I've always been a protective parent, but when my daughter asked why she couldn't walk to the local shop alone like her classmates, the mirror was held up to me. I was raising an independent thinker, but I was also stifling her autonomy and confidence. Balancing my instinct to protect with her need to grow is still a work in progress. But she's learning something I'm still catching up to: independence isn't about doing everything alone, it's about showing up for your community with confidence in your ability to contribute. Watching her navigate this new world has shown me that Japan's schools don't treat "growing up" as a distant goal, but as something children are already trusted to do.

Whitney Wolfe Herd returned to the position of Bumble CEO in 2025. Patrick T. Fallon / AFP via Getty Images Bumble is launching a group-dating feature called "Plans," Business Insider has learned. Users will pay a fee to join a small group event. The feature will roll out in New York in a pilot test this week. Other dating apps are betting on group features, like Tinder's "Double Date" and "Events" tab. Bumble has "Plans" for you. The dating app is set to launch a new group-dating feature called "Plans" this week, Business Insider has learned. The pilot, which launches in New York and costs money to participate in, will bring together small gatherings of Bumble users to meet in-person. Users must pay a flat fee to RSVP to a "Plan." After signing up, Bumble users can also invite a plus-one to tag along to the "Plan." That friend must also pay the RSVP fee. Daters will see the meet-up location after payment. After attending the "Plan," Bumble will ask users about their experience and whether they liked any specific attendees. Then, users can match with those crushes and continue messaging on the app. Bumble's latest feature joins a slew of other dating apps embracing in-person experiences, as worries of "swipe fatigue" grow. It also represents a new potential revenue stream for the company, which has faced declining revenue. The company's full-year total revenue decreased by 9.9% between 2025 and 2024, and was down 14.1% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026. In a Slack message sent to employees this week, Bumble announced the launch of the "Plans" social handle, @plansbybumble. The account is still private, though its profile logo matches images Business Insider viewed. While this "Plans" launch is limited to New York, Bumble plans to roll out the feature nationally, based on performance. The @plansbybumble account is currently private. Screenshot via Instagram The move echoes two recent launches from Tinder, one of Bumble's primary competitors. Tinder launched "Double Date" in June, a social dating feature that lets users swipe (and meet up) with their friends. In March, Tinder announced a new "Events" tab, which connected users to in-person dating experiences. The feature is still testing in Los Angeles, across the country from Bumble's "Plans" pilot. "Events are fun, they're low-pressure, they're social, they're safe," Tinder CEO Spencer Rascoff told Business Insider in March. "They're bringing Tinder into the physical world in a way that is consistent with our users' lifestyles." Like much of the dating app category, Bumble's stock has suffered recently. The stock is down around 45% year over year. Bumble has tried similar in-person dating experiences. In 2022, the company launched Bumble IRL, a series of local events to "meet cool people in your city." The company is also hosting a handful of bar events in New York this summer. Meanwhile, a variety of new dating app startups promise to get users more face-to-face connections, like Court IRL, First Round's on Me, and 222. Read the original article on Business Insider

Berkshire Hathaway has committed $10B as part of the capital raise.

Opal, the company famous for making a fancy webcam, has pivoted to making other consumer electronics. Fueled by big investments from OpenAI and Samsung, it’s working on an audio gadget first.

Unframe cofounders Adi Azarya, Shay Levi, and Larissa Schneider. Unframe Inc. Unframe has raised $50 million to help companies deploy AI. The startup crossed $100 million in total contract value within a year. Its customers span industries including financial services, healthcare, and retail. Roughly three years into the generative AI boom, companies are allocating big budgets for AI tools but struggling to put them to work. The two-year-old startup Unframe has raised $50 million in Series B funding to bridge this gap. The latest round brings total funds to $100 million. The company also said it crossed $100 million in total contract value within a year. As businesses move from AI experimentation to deployment, COO Larissa Schneider said "identifying the right use case" remains a central challenge. Unframe has built a library of different AI tools that it uses to assemble custom systems. These work with different AI models and integrate with a company's internal systems and data. Unframe has been used by commercial real estate firms to analyze lease documents, by retailers to plan promotions, and by airlines to streamline crew schedules, Schneider said. The Series B was led by Highland Europe, and featured participation from existing investors Bessemer, Craft, TLV, Third Point, Cerca, and Vintage. Unframe's customers span industries including financial services, healthcare, and retail, and include commercial real estate firms Cushman & Wakefield and Avison Young, cybersecurity company Armis, and the Swiss publisher NZZ. Customers can test Unframe's AI solutions for free, and pay an annual subscription once they're deployed. Many start with one project before expanding, Schneider said, which is helping to drive a 400% net revenue retention rate — or how much existing customers have increased their spend over time. Unframe has roughly 150 employees, and Schneider said it will use the new funding to expand its product, customer support, and sales teams, and enter new markets. The company is headquartered in Cupertino, with offices in Tel Aviv and Berlin. Companies take various approaches to AI adoption. Unframe competes with prebuilt AI services, consulting firms like Accenture, and companies that choose to develop their own AI systems in-house Unframe's cofounders include Schneider, CEO Shay Levi, and VP of research and development Adi Azarya. The three are veterans of cybersecurity company Noname, which was acquired by Akamai in 2024 for roughly $450 million. Here's a look at the pitch deck Unframe used to raise its $50 million Series B.
