• Asbury Park Says No More AI-Generated City Flyers, But Will Still Share Outside Graphics City of Asbury Park (opgov.news) — Asbury Park officials have decided city departments will stop using generative AI to create official event flyers, after pushback from residents and local artists who want real Asbury Park creatives hired instead. The city will still share AI-made graphics from outside partners, while Porchfest and Jazzfest organizers, artists, and business owners debate costs, ethics, and how to better feature local talent in future promotions.
• Where the music means more (jerseysbest.com) — In Asbury Park, The Stone Pony is portrayed as much more than a club, serving as a multigenerational gathering place where local bands and global stars share the same storied stage. From surprise Springsteen moments to Summer Stage shows by the ocean, the venue's history, intimate size, and deep ties to the city's boardwalk culture keep it central to Asbury Park's musical identity.
• New Jersey hits AI company with state's largest fine on a data center (costar.com) — Asbury Park is among several New Jersey towns that have paused new data center construction just as the state levies a record $1 million fine against an AI company's Vineland facility for using unpermitted gas generators. Local moratoriums and a proposed statewide freeze could shape where and how future data centers operate near you.
