史蒂文·斯隆 巴尔的摩——马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔（Wes Moore）正在组建一个两党州长小组，以应对日益增加的对人工智能所带来威胁的担忧。他认为，面对联邦政府在这一问题上的不作为，各州需要填补由此产生的真空。
STEVEN SLOAN BALTIMORE — Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland is forming a bipartisan group of governors to respond to mounting concerns about the threats posed by artificial intelligence as he argued that states need to fill a void left by the federal government’s inaction on the issue.
民主党人摩尔在一次采访中批评了总统唐纳德·特朗普本周在白宫与人工智能高管的会晤，称其为“亿万富翁男孩俱乐部”。他还批评国会未能在下个月的中期选举之后离开华盛顿之前解决这一快速发展的技术问题。
In an interview, Moore, a Democrat, criticized President Donald Trump’s meeting with AI executives at the White House this week as a “billionaire boys club.”He was also critical of Congress for leaving Washington until after next month’s midterms without addressing the rapidly evolving technology.
摩尔在巴尔的摩的一次创新会议上发言后表示：“联邦政府必须发挥其独特的领导作用，这既包括白宫，也包括国会。在缺乏这种作用的情况下，州长们不能坐视不管。”摩尔今年担任全国州长协会的主席，并表示他的共同主席、印第安纳州共和党州长迈克·布劳恩（Mike Braun）将与他合作制定人工智能框架。摩尔说，其他来自两党的州长也计划参与其中。
“The federal government has a unique leadership role that they have to play and that includes both the White House and Congress,” Moore said after speaking at an innovation conference in Baltimore. “In the absence of that, the governors cannot just sit on our hands.”Moore is the chair of the National Governors Association this year and said his co-chair, Republican Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana, would partner with him in developing an AI framework. Other governors from both parties are planning to participate, Moore said.
科技高管们越来越严厉的警告称，人工智能可能对人类构成生存威胁，这考验着各级政府对快速发展作出敏捷反应的能力。到目前为止，各州的行动比联邦政府更为积极，但在应对一项跨越全国乃至全球的技术时，他们的权力是有限的。
Increasingly dire warnings from tech executives that AI could pose an existential threat to humanity have tested the ability of governments at all levels to respond nimbly to fast-moving developments. So far, states have been more active than the federal government, but their power is limited when it comes to dealing with a technology that spans the country and the globe.
在过去的一个月里，马里兰州、加利福尼亚州、伊利诺伊州、俄勒冈州和弗吉尼亚州的州长们纷纷发布了行政命令或采取了其他措施，旨在为该技术制定一些标准。共和党人也是在州一级采取行动的人之一，其中包括犹他州的斯派塞·考克斯（Spencer Cox）和得克萨斯州的格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott）等州长，他们一直在打击数据中心的开发。
In the past month, governors in Maryland, California, Illinois, Oregon and Virginia have issued executive orders or taken other steps intended to create some standards for the technology. Republicans have been among those taking action at the state level with governors including Spencer Cox of Utah and Greg Abbott of Texas cracking down on data center development.
然而，在华盛顿，相关行动的进展要缓慢得多。上个月，佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）召集了立法者及专家举行会议；而密苏里州共和党参议员乔什·霍利（Josh Hawley）则启动了对 OpenAI 的调查。不过，在应如何通过立法来应对这一挑战的问题上，各方尚未达成共识。
However, the action has been much slower in Washington. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., hosted a briefing with lawmakers and experts last month and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has launched an investigation into OpenAI. There has been little agreement, however, on a legislative response.
在白宫方面，特朗普将人们对人工智能的担忧称为“骗局”，并强调美国必须与中国开发的技术保持竞争力。他是少数仍积极支持建设数据中心的领导人之一。本周，特朗普与科技行业领袖们签署了一份自愿性协议，他称该协议具有“道德约束力”，并规定相关机构需接受内部和外部监督。在与这些行业领袖会面后，特朗普称赞他们“进行了自我约束”。
At the White House, Trump has dismissed AI fears as a “hoax” and emphasized the need to remain competitive with technology developed in China. He is one of the few prominent leaders who continues to boost data centers. Trump and tech leaders signed a voluntary accord this week that he called “morally binding” and will include internal and external reviews. After meeting with the leaders, the president praised the industry for engaging in “tremendous self-policing.”“Who in the room was advocating for more transparency or more regulatory guardrails?”
摩尔（Moore）在谈到白宫的会议时说：“在场的各位中，有谁主张提高透明度或加强监管措施呢？总统的言行丝毫没有让我觉得各州政府现在采取的监管措施是多余的。”白宫方面没有立即回应我们的评论请求。
Moore said of the White House meeting. “What the president did in no way, shape or form made me feel like what the governors are now doing was now unnecessary.”The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
关于如何应对人工智能问题的争论，可能会在下一届总统大选的初期阶段发挥重要作用。摩尔表示自己不会参选总统，目前专注于今年的中期选举——他将在马里兰州竞选连任。无论谁最终成为总统，都可能因过去的决策而受到审视；例如，他曾支持建设数据中心——这些数据中心曾被视为各州的经济增长引擎，但如今已广受批评。
The debate over responding to artificial intelligence could play an important role in the early stages of the next presidential campaign . Moore has said he’s not running for president and is focused on this year’s midterms, when he is on the ballot for reelection in Maryland. Whoever enters the field could face scrutiny for past moves including support for data centers, which were once seen as economic booms for states but have since become broadly unpopular.
摩尔就是那些对数据中心持批评态度的州长之一；上个月，他签署了一项行政命令，旨在为数据中心的管理制定新的规则。他还呼吁州立法机构废除他在上任前通过的税收优惠政策。
Moore is among the governors who has become more critical of data centers,g an executive order last month establishing new rules to govern them. He has also called on state lawmakers to repeal a tax exemption that was passed before he took office.
在采访中，摩尔承认这门技术的“发展速度极其迅猛”。他表示，他在2024年签署的一项人工智能行政命令中的某些要素“现在已经过时了”。他说道：“业务操作可能会变，但我的价值观永远不会变。”
In the interview, Moore acknowledged the “speed of this technology that is moving at such a rapid clip.”He said that elements of an AI executive order he signed in 2024 are “antiquated now.”“The operations might move,” he said. “But my values will never move.”
