Virtually all of these are temporary moratoriums, most-likely to let the city examine impact of some proposed development and gather feedback.
There are three permanent bans in force:
Pemberton Township, New Jersey (27k people)
Warrenton, Virginia, specific 42-acre area (10k people)
Weaverville, North Carolina (4.5k people)
St. Charles, Missouri is also listed as permanent, but the text says that there is a temporary moratorium with a proposed permanent ban.
Note that this and most of the others do not appear to be specific to anything AI-related; this is all data centers.
