Amazon ends NDAs in data center deals amid AI infrastructure backlash; startups push AI agents with credit card access.

Amazon has decided to stop using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when negotiating data center deals with local governments, following Microsoft's similar move. This shift comes as secrecy around AI infrastructure has sparked community opposition, resulting in many moratoriums across major US cities. Meanwhile, startups are increasingly developing AI agents that seek consumer access to personal data and credit cards, betting on trust as a key factor. These changes highlight growing transparency and evolving business models in AI and data infrastructure sectors.

Following Amazon's move to drop NDAs in data center deals, Amazon's stock price on Pluang rose by 2.65% to USD 260.80 as of Oct 10, 2026 00:03 WIB. Microsoft, which made a similar decision, also saw its shares increase by 2.29% to USD 534.58 on Pluang at the same time. Despite these gains, most Pluang investors are selling Amazon with 78% sell orders, while Microsoft has a more balanced order activity with 66% sell and 34% buy.
