根据Tech Oversight Project的一项新分析，本轮选举周期中，参加130多场联邦和州长竞选的民主党候选人投放了反科技或反数据中心广告，而2020年至2024年间民主党仅投放了两则涉及这些主题的广告。该分析首先与Semafor分享。
Democrats running in more than 130 federal and gubernatorial races aired anti-tech or anti-data center ads this cycle, an increase over just two Democratic ads mentioning those topics from 2020 to 2024, according to a new analysis from the Tech Oversight Project shared first with Semafor.
报告称，民主党使用这些信息的频率是共和党的四倍。这些广告出现在几乎所有的摇摆州，以及三场胶着的州长竞选中。
Democrats used these messages four times as often as Republicans, the report says. The ads appeared in nearly every battleground state, as well as three toss-up governor races.
报告引用的广告指责AI导致哄抬物价、危害儿童，甚至导致医疗拒保，而聚焦数据中心的广告则就用水问题和对农田的威胁向共和党施压。
Ads cited by the report blame AI for price-gouging, harm to children, and even healthcare denial, while data center-focused ads press Republicans on water use and threats to farmland.
“民主党可能已经找到了一个制胜信息。现在是时候加大力度，拒绝回归华盛顿的惯常做法、硅谷筹款活动和轻触式监管方式，” 该组织在报告中写道，该组织主要由eBay创始人Pierre Omidyar的慈善网络资助。
“Democrats have potentially found a winning message. Now is the time to step on the gas and reject a return to business as usual in Washington, Silicon Valley fundraisers, and light-touch approaches,” the group, which is mostly funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar’s philanthropic network, writes in the report.
“这将是对其竞选承诺的背叛，不仅会挥霍我们的胜利——还会在基本盘中制造怨恨，让我们在2028年付出代价，” 报告继续写道。
“It would be a betrayal of their campaign promises, and not only would it squander our victory –— it would create resentment in the base that will cost us in 2028,” it continues.
推动对AI和社交媒体实施更严格规则的组织，如Tech Oversight Project和其他反AI组织，看到一个巨大的机会，可以进一步推动国会民主党人和2028年总统竞选人在AI安全和数据中心问题上采取更强硬立场。他们认为，由于唐纳德·特朗普总统与亿万富翁科技高管关系密切，保守派在这方面已经失去了公信力。
Groups that are pushing for stricter rules on AI and social media, like the Tech Oversight Project and other anti-AI organizations, see a huge opportunity to push Democrats in Congress and 2028 presidential contenders further on AI safety and data centers. They argue conservatives have already lost credibility on it thanks to President Donald Trump’s cozy relationships with billionaire tech executives.
